Essence of Political Utility

Abstract

Naturally, the human decision behavior is normally based on selfishness, but it may be different according to their desire such as considering on the benefits. On the economics field called utility which has an effect on the decision of the ones to buy goods or services that means human will naturally decide to depend on the most valued among all things that exist. In the same way, political decision behavior such as an observer, participator, partner etc… are usually under the influences of political utilities that are in stimulation of estimation and acceptation on value from political activities, which can be described in four theories; deterministic, exchange, psychology and consciously rational. Each theory explains political values differently, but they are the same in focusing on political behavior. Thus, political decision of any political actor must be based on their supreme values hoping to serve, therefore, general assumptions could be concluded that political utilities influence political behavior.
