Description

Product Description Designed to sit along the 2008 set, Electoral Behaviour, this collection brings together leading electoral systems experts from either side of the Atlantic. The last 25 years have seen this initially underdeveloped discipline in political science grow exponentially in level and range of output. Examining and mapping these rapid developments this collection covers the following general themes: - electoral system design and reform - indices relating to electoral systems, such as proportionality, effective number of parties - Duverger′s Laws - electoral systems, stability and other consequences - particular electoral systems. About the Author David M. Farrell holds the Chair of Politics at University College Dublin. A specialist in the study of electoral systems and party politics, he is founding co-editor of Party Politics and until recently was co-editor of Representation (where he was one of the driving forces behind the move to ′professionalize′ the journal). He has published extensively on electoral systems, particularly in his two most recent books: Representing Europe′s Citizens? (Oxford 2007) and The Australian Electoral System (University of New South Wales Press 2006). He is currently revising his textbook, Electoral Systems: A Comparative Introduction (for publication by Palgrave Macmillan in 2010). Matthew S. Shugart is Professor in the Department of Political Science and the School of International Relations and Pacific Studies at the University of California, San Diego. His books include Seats and Votes: The Effects and Determinants of Electoral Systems (Yale University Press, 1989, with Rein Taagepera), Presidents and Assemblies: Constitutional Design and Electoral Dynamics (Cambridge University Press, 1992, with John M. Carey), Mixed-Member Electoral Systems: The Best of Both Worlds? (Oxford University Press, 2001, edited, with Martin P. Wattenberg), and Presidents, Parties, and Prime Ministers: How the Separation of Powers Affects Party Organization and Behavior (Cambridge University Press, 2010, with David J. Samuels). He has been awarded two National Science Foundation grants in recent years to undertake cross-national data collection and analysis on candidate characteristics and experience under different electoral systems, and has published more than 25 articles in peer-reviewed journals.
