Description

Elections are universal methods of political choice and decision-making. This book includes essays on key topics of voting behaviour, election rules, the media, election pacts, and the consequences of elections. The distinguished authors are drawn from both sides of the Atlantic--including Donald Stokes, Austin Ranney, Richard Rose, Anthony King, and Dennis Kavanagh. They form a tribute to the famous student of elections, David Butler.

Reviews

"Contains contributions by some of the most respected members of the British academic network....Fascinating and broadly imaginative pieces."--Choice

"Strikingly uniform is the high quality of the several chapters....A thoughtful placement of Butler's work in the British empirical tradition, treating the study of politics as the accurate description of events rather than as material for grand theories or broad generalizations. Such treatment, however, is consistent with insightful understanding vividly expressed."--British Politics Group Newsletter
