William H. Riker is a pioneer and leading scholar of mathematical political theory or formal theory. He has also contributed to the field of the study of American constitution and federalism. He started his academic life as a student of political insitutions, and then shifted his major interest to the scientific study of politics, especially mathematical approach. He has applied game theory and social choice theory to the analysis of political phenomena. However, since the end of 1970s he has begun to emphasize an importance of institutions again. I am strongly interested in his theoretical development, especially how is institutional study and mathematical analysis integrated in his theoretical framework. The relationship between the study of institutions and mathematical approach is an important problem of the contemporary political science. This artical deals with an overview of William H. Riker's political theory and discusses his contributions to the contemporary political theory. Introduction 1. The Study of Political Institutions 2.
