Abstract
Considers that a salient feature of current theories of coalition formation is their parsimony-each theory specifies 1 guiding principle for predicting coalition formation. It is suggested that in their parsimony, these theories have paid little attention to the bargaining process leading to a given coalition and how these negotiations might change as a result of the nature and outcome of prior events. Accordingly, a theory that emphasizes the bargaining process is proposed. Some critical comparisons are made between the predictions of the theory and the predictions of minimum resource and pivotal power theories. Some data are presented that support the validity of the proposed theory. (24 ref.)
