Making Votes Count: Strategic Coordination in the World's Electoral Systems - Paperback

by Gary W. Cox (Author), Randall Calvert (Editor), Thrainn Eggertsson (Editor)

This book investigates strategic coordination in elections worldwide. Although the classics of electoral studies have dealt with issues of coordination, this is the first book that employs a unified game-theoretic model to study strategic coordination--including both strategic voting and strategic entry--worldwide and that relies primarily on constituency-level rather than national aggregate data in testing theoretical propositions about the effects of electoral laws.
