Summary: This thesis belongs to the realm of "social decisions" and deals with two different kinds of problems. The first part of the thesis concerns the study allocation problem with property indivisible. This work, and from different perspectives, attempts to answer the question: Do you how it should be distributed a fixed amount of indivisible units among a set of players when that amount differs from the aggregate demand? The second part of the thesis is devoted to the study of voting systems, focusing on the analysis of the concept of power on the one hand and on the notion of the difficulty in making decisions on the other. In these two chapters, the European Council has been extensively studied.

Summary: In recent decades, new theories of distributive justice conducting their trials based on the opportunities that individuals have, not just in the results they have obtained. This thesis tries to provide a theoretical support to these theories through the construction of ordinations of possible distributions opportunities between members of society. In particular, the thesis provides ordinations of these distributions opportunities if decoros social whose sole objective equal individuals. Similarly, it introduces a number of families possible approaches that can be used to judge whether these distributions of decoros social goals are broader and cover more aspects that equality of individuals. The criteria are these families differ in the value of a parameter that reflects the degree of commitment of approach between the values of equality and efficiency.
