Electoral Systems - David M Farrell - Bog

"Electoral Systems examines the six principal types of system currently in use in more than fifty of the world's democracies. The book considers the operations and effects of these systems and adopts a common format throughout. Making use of an array of visual material, including authentic ballot papers, tables and figures, this revised edition assesses: a spread of case studies in and beyond Europe; forms and consequences of electoral reform; 'electoral integrity' and gerrymandering; and expanded coverage of 'contamination' problems with mixed-member systems. This in-depth study remains the go-to book for students and researchers seeking to understand electoral systems around the world"--
