Electoral Systems and Political Context: How the Effects of Rules Vary Across Ne

Description: Electoral Systems and Political Context by Robert G. Moser, Ethan Scheiner Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book compares the effects of proportional representation and single-member district electoral rules in new and established democracies. The authors use mixed-member electoral systems as a social laboratory to study electoral system effects. They find that electoral system effects tend to be different in new democracies than in established democracies. Publisher Description Electoral Systems and Political Context illustrates how political and social context conditions the effects of electoral rules. The book examines electoral behavior and outcomes in countries that use mixed-member electoral systems - where voters cast one ballot for a party list under proportional representation (PR) and one for a candidate in a single member district (SMD). Based on comparisons of outcomes under the two different rules used in mixed-member systems, the book highlights how electoral systems effects - especially strategic voting, the number of parties and womens representation - tend to be different in new democracies from what one usually sees in established democracies. Moreover, electoral systems such as SMDs are usually presumed to constrain the number of parties irrespective of the level of social diversity, but this book demonstrates that social diversity frequently shapes party fragmentation even under such restrictive rules.
