Reviews
'Mixed Electoral Systems is the first cross-national study of the combined Single Member District and List Proportional Representation systems. The authors demonstrate that the mixed system is not uniform and its governance consequences are dependent upon several variables. This outstanding book concludes with a research agenda for scholars to pursue to improve our understanding of the functioning of the different varieties of mixed member systems employed by various nations.'
- Joseph F. Zimmerman, Rockefeller College, University at Albany
"This is a compelling case that the growth in mixed electoral systems represents the emergence of a new breed of electoral institutions. The detailed and comprehensive comparative examination is the state of the art in this emerging subfield of electoral systems research and sets a new standard for empirical research into institutional outcomes."
- Kenneth Benoit, Trinity College
