In the past five years, over a dozen books on electoral systems have been written by scholars from many nations and from many disciplines (see reviews of a number of these in Lijphart, Political geography, long moribund, is undergoing a remarkable renaissance (see reviews in Grofman, Taylor, Gudgin, and Johnston, this volume). Social choice theorists have begun to link axiomatic criteria for representative systems to practical political issues in choosing an election system (see especially Brams and Fishburn, Fishburn, this volume). In the United States, sparked in large part by the efforts of the section on Representation and Electoral Systems of the American Political Science Association, the history of American electoral experimentation with proportional representation, weighted voting, and limited voting is being rediscovered (see Grofman Weaver, this volume). This renewed scholarly attention to the study of electoral systems is long overdue. The late Stein Rokkan wrote as recently as 1968, "Given the crucial importance of the organization of legitimate elections in the development of the mass democracies of the twentieth century, it is indeed astounding to discover how little serious effort has been invested in the comparative study of the wealth of information available” (Rokkan, 1968, 17). The long past neglect of electoral systems by social scientists is especially surprising since election rules not only have important effects on other elements of the political system, especially the party system, but also offer a practical instrument for political engineers who want to make changes in the political system. Indeed, Sartori aptly characterizes electoral systems as ”the most specific manipulative instrument of politics” 273) “A useful volume on the impact of electoral laws...includes a very good bibliography and index...establishes a broader international and interdisciplinary perspective on the methods of representation.”--‘American Political Science Review’ "/><meta property="og:title" content="Electoral Laws and Their Political Consequences"/><meta property="og:type" content="book"/><meta property="og:site_name" content="Google Books"/><meta property="og:image" content="https://books.google.com.sg/books/content?id=o1dqas0m8kIC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&imgtk=AFLRE70iDdehQfoZMx_dXyAMB6aP-J0uhm7HLIUz7Y7hhfvoYSBxlYpVjTy5k2GyXI7MqZn5r6OsqrvTl00LJW9EKcYuRczFJuh_8sladJaK1DsbrLpu-PvA9uOKGNEpBpmo5cw7FJ6Y"/><link rel="image_src" href="https://books.google.com.sg/books/content?id=o1dqas0m8kIC&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&imgtk=AFLRE70iDdehQfoZMx_dXyAMB6aP-J0uhm7HLIUz7Y7hhfvoYSBxlYpVjTy5k2GyXI7MqZn5r6OsqrvTl00LJW9EKcYuRczFJuh_8sladJaK1DsbrLpu-PvA9uOKGNEpBpmo5cw7FJ6Y"/><script></script><style>#gbar,#guser{font-size:13px;padding-top:1px !important;}#gbar{height:22px}#guser{padding-bottom:7px !important;text-align:right}.gbh,.gbd{border-top:1px solid #c9d7f1;font-size:1px}.gbh{height:0;position:absolute;top:24px;width:100%}@media all{.gb1{height:22px;margin-right:.5em;vertical-align:top}#gbar{float:left}}a.gb1,a.gb4{text-decoration:underline !important}a.gb1,a.gb4{color:#00c !important}.gbi .gb4{color:#dd8e27 !important}.gbf .gb4{color:#900 !important} #gbar { padding:.3em .6em !important;}</style></head><body class=""><div id=gbar><nobr><a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/search?tab=pw">Search</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/imghp?hl=en&tab=pi">Images</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://maps.google.com.sg/maps?hl=en&tab=pl">Maps</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://play.google.com/?hl=en&tab=p8">Play</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.youtube.com/?tab=p1">YouTube</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://news.google.com/?tab=pn">News</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://mail.google.com/mail/?tab=pm">Gmail</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://drive.google.com/?tab=po">Drive</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 style="text-decoration:none" href="https://www.google.com.sg/intl/en/about/products?tab=ph"><u>More</u> »</a></nobr></div><div id=guser width=100%><nobr><span id=gbn class=gbi></span><span id=gbf class=gbf></span><span id=gbe></span><a target=_top id=gb_70 href="https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print&continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fid%3Do1dqas0m8kIC%26pg%3DPA174%26redir_esc%3Dy%26hl%3Den&hl=en&ec=GAZACg" class=gb4>Sign in</a></nobr></div><div class=gbh style=left:0></div><div class=gbh style=right:0></div><div role="alert" style="position: absolute; left: 0; right: 0;"><a href="https://books.google.com.sg/books?id=o1dqas0m8kIC&pg=PA174&redir_esc=y&hl=en&output=html_text" title="Screen reader users: click this link for accessible mode.

In the\npast five years, over a dozen books on electoral systems have been written by\nscholars from many nations and from many disciplines (see reviews of a number\nof these in Lijphart, Political geography, long moribund, is undergoing a\nremarkable renaissance (see reviews in Grofman, Taylor, Gudgin, and Johnston,\nthis volume). Social choice theorists have begun to link axiomatic criteria for\nrepresentative systems to practical political issues in choosing an election\nsystem (see especially Brams and Fishburn, Fishburn, this volume). In the\nUnited States, sparked in large part by the efforts of the section on\nRepresentation and Electoral Systems of the American Political Science\nAssociation, the history of American electoral experimentation with\nproportional representation, weighted voting, and limited voting is being\nrediscovered (see Grofman Weaver, this volume).\n\nThis\nrenewed scholarly attention to the study of electoral systems is long overdue.\nThe late Stein Rokkan wrote as recently as 1968, \"Given the crucial\nimportance of the organization of legitimate elections in the development of\nthe mass democracies of the twentieth century, it is indeed astounding to\ndiscover how little serious effort has been invested in the comparative study\nof the wealth of information available” (Rokkan, 1968, 17). The long past\nneglect of electoral systems by social scientists is especially surprising\nsince election rules not only have important effects on other elements of the\npolitical system, especially the party system, but also offer a practical\ninstrument for political engineers who want to make changes in the political\nsystem. Indeed, Sartori aptly characterizes electoral systems as ”the most\nspecific manipulative instrument of politics” 273)\n\n“A useful\nvolume on the impact of electoral laws...includes a very good bibliography and\nindex...establishes a broader international and interdisciplinary perspective\non the methods of representation.”--‘American Political Science Review’\n\n","my_library_url":"https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print\u0026continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fop%3Dlibrary\u0026hl=en","is_magazine":false,"is_public_domain":false,"last_page":{"pid":"PA338","order":351,"title":"338"}},{"enableUserFeedbackUI":true,"pseudocontinuous":true,"is_cobrand":false,"sign_in_url":"https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print\u0026continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fid%3Do1dqas0m8kIC%26pg%3DPA174%26redir_esc%3Dy%26hl%3Den\u0026hl=en","isEntityPageViewport":false,"showViewportOnboarding":false,"showViewportPlainTextOnboarding":false},{"page":[{"pid":"PA174","flags":8,"order":187}]},null,null,{});</script></div></div></div><script>(function() {var href = window.location.href;if (href.indexOf('?') !== -1) {var parameters = href.split('?')[1].split('&');for (var i = 0; i < parameters.length; i++) {var param = parameters[i].split('=');if (param[0] == 'focus') {var elem = document.getElementById(param[1]);if (elem) {elem.focus();}}}}})();</script>
