Electoral Systems
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-34897-4 (ISBN)
This fully revised and expanded third edition examines the principal types of electoral systems used in over 75 of the world’s democracies. It explores why countries choose the electoral systems they do and explains how the different systems function; it investigates the consequences of electoral systems, including on the party system and on government formation and stability, on representation and the quality of democracy, and on parties, politicians, and voters.
Clearly structured, wide-ranging in focus, and incorporating an array of visual material – including authentic ballot papers, tables and figures – this in-depth study remains the go-to text for students and researchers seeking to understand electoral systems around the world.
