Förlagets beskrivning
Popular elections are at the heart of representative democracy. Thus,
understanding the laws and practices that govern such elections is essential to
understanding modern democracy. In this book, Cox views electoral laws as
posing a variety of coordination problems that political forces must solve.
Coordination problems - and with them the necessity of negotiating withdrawals,
strategic voting, and other species of strategic coordination - arise in all
electoral systems. This is the first book that employs a unified game-theoretic
model to study strategic coordination worldwide and that relies primarily on
constituency-level rather than national aggregate data in testing theoretical
propositions about the effects of electoral laws. This is also the first book
that considers not just what happens when political forces succeed in solving
the coordination problems inherent in the electoral system they face but also
what happens when they fail. This book investigates strategic coordination in elections worldwide.
