Elections : A Very Short Introduction
Most citizens know how elections work in their own country, but not all elections are created equally.Elections occur in all democracies and many non-democratic regimes as well.They determine who will hold public office and who will have the power to govern.They connect citizens to those whom they choose to make decisions on their behalf and who regulate their behavior.This book looks comparatively at the key aspects of elections.In addition to describing types of electoral systems, it discusses the implications of the various systems for the administration of elections, voter participation, representation, government stability, and other factors.Where appropriate, it examines efforts to reform a nation's (or a sub-national entity's) system, exploring the impetus for reform and the effects of those reforms when implemented. Elections: A Very Short Introduction asks readers to view election systems critically and comparatively, to understand that all democracies do not function in the same way, to think about the reasons their system functions as it does-for good or ill-and to consider alternatives with which they might not previously have been familiar.L. Sandy Maisel and Jennifer A. Yoder lay out the variety of electoral systems in the broadest terms- single-member district plurality systems; proportional systems; and mixed systems.They discuss voting and the various electoral institutions used to implement the ways in which voting occurs and how votes are tabulated across electoral systems.They analyze the consequences of each system, first for the functioning of the democracy, and second for the electoral strategies politicians employ, closing with a discussion of reforms under consideration in a number of countries.

The Politics of Recall Elections
This edited volume presents the first comprehensive analysis of recall processes which have spread globally since the end of the Cold War, and which are now re-configuring the political dynamics of electoral democracy.Drawing on the expertise of country experts, the book provides a coherent and theoretically informed framework for mapping and evaluating this fast-evolving phenomenon.While the existing literature on the subject has so far focused on isolated single-country studies, the collection brings recall experiments to centre stage as it relates them to current crises in the traditional variants of representative democracy.It explains why the spread of recall innovations is set to continue, and to pass a threshold from inattention to urgent engagement.The authors further provide original insights into the rationale for recall, as well as guidance on minimising the accompanying risks.

Elections and Voters in Britain
How do voters in Britain decide which party to vote for in elections?Have age and education replaced class as the social basis for voting?Are elections now ‘presidentialised’, with voters simply choosing between party leaders?What role do the media, new and old, play in all of this?The authors examine these and other questions in the fourth edition of this popular text.The core of the text is devoted to examining and explaining theories of party choice, including the debate about whether voters are driven more by issues and ideology or simply by which party and leader looks least likely to make a mess of things in office.The authors also devote separate chapters to turnout trends and patterns, the media, electoral systems, the geography of party support, and – new to this edition – referendums.Fully revised and with detailed analysis of the 2019 election and the electoral fallout of Brexit, the text incorporates the latest research on elections and voting behaviour, andincludes analysis of recent trends and developments – such as the effect of digital media on electoral politics and where recent misfires leave the opinion polls.

Why Bother With Elections?
With the collapse of traditional parties around the world and with many pundits predicting a "crisis of democracy", the value of elections as a method for selecting by whom and how we are governed is being questioned.What are the virtues and weaknesses of elections? Are there limitations to what they can realistically achieve?In this deeply informed book world-renowned democratic theorist Adam Przeworski offers a warts-and-all analysis of elections and the ways in which they affect our lives.Elections, he argues, are inherently imperfect but they remain the least bad way of choosing our rulers.According to Przeworski, the greatest value of elections, by itself sufficient to cherish them, is that they process whatever conflicts may arise in society in a way that maintains relative liberty and peace.Whether they succeed in doing so in today's turbulent political climate remains to be seen.
