Abstract: Abstract The Public Choice-approach has been characterised as the ‘application of economics to political science’ (Mueller 2003, p 1). It applies the methodology of economics to the study of politics (Mueller 1997, p 1). It is interdisciplinary insofar as it employs the analytic tools of economics and chooses as its subject matter the identical fields as political science does (Mueller 2003, p 1).
