Democracy and Elections cover

Democracy and Elections addresses the relationship between the different and often incompatible values of democratic theory and the electoral institutions used to achieve them. By analysing electoral systems worldwide, including those of not only European and "honorary European" governments but also developing nations, Professor Katz provides the empirical data to find the institutions most appropriate to each model of democracy.

...important new book. What is valuable about this book is that it provides a clear analysis of the different values involved in democracy, combined with a detailed examination of the mechanics of actual election systems. - Richard S Katz. Times Literary Supplement. 21/8/1998
