Elections, electoral systems and volatile voters
Baldini, Gianfranco.

Elections, electoral systems and volatile voters[electronic resource] /Gianfranco Baldiniand Adriano Pappalardo. - Basingstoke [England] ;Palgrave Macmillan,2009. - xiii, 229 p. ;23 cm.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 183-217) and index.

What democratic elections are, and what they are not -- Electoral systems in contemporary advanced democracies: basic principles and their mechanics -- Majoritarian systems -- Proportional systems -- Mixed member systems -- Electoral rules: how effective and why -- The French 2RS:suited for comparative research? -- Redesigning cases and indicators -- From theory to evidence: updating and retesting Lijphart -- Systemic consequences, past and future.

Elections and parties are obvious cornerstones of democratic regimes. Though intensively researched and lively debated through the post-warliterature, these topics deserve continuous attention to keep up with an accelerating rate of change of both collective actors, legal rules, and their socio-political environment. The book gives a full account ofpast experience, present structures and processes, and probable developments, of the voters- party-electoral systems nexus in twenty-one advanced Western democracies. A special focus is devoted to volatility, i.e., the growing instability of voting choices. This - is argued - is theindicator of a wholesale crisis of the electors-parties trust relationship and the underlying cause of an unprecedented party fragmentation and a decreasing effectiveness of electoral rules. The analysis, descriptive, interpretative, and explanatory, is basedon an original 1945-2007 comparative data set including all relevant political and institutional variables.
