Abstract
The preceding chapter by Schofield develops the concept of the heart for general committee games when preferences are Euclidean. Among other things, he uses it to analyse parliamentary bargaining in multiparty polities. The formal defintion of the heart, H D , provided in Schofield (1993, 1995) for general preferences and a given voting rule, D,are reviewed in Section 9.2, and the application of the heart as a general solution concept are considered in Section 9.3. Two refinements (or subsets) of the heart called S D and I S D are proposed in Section 9.4. Section 9.5 concludes the chapter.
