Elections: A Very Short Introduction
View through CrossRef
Abstract
Elections: A Very Short Introduction focuses on the key concepts surrounding elections that occur in all democracies and nondemocratic regimes. Elections, essentially, determine who will hold public office and who will have the power to govern. Moreover, not all democracies function in the same way, nor do their respective election systems. The VSI then highlights how elections connect citizens to those whom they choose to make decisions on their behalf and who regulate their behavior. It examines a variety of voting and electoral systems before providing an overview of reforms under consideration in a number of countries.
