Recensione

'This is a welcome contribution to the debate on how electoral systems shape political strategies. It should be read by all students of electoral systems, not only because it is well researched and well written, but also because it brings attention to the lesser known systems of preferential voting...'. Journal of Commonwealth and Comparative Politics

'... this is a book rich in its insights and detailed research findings'. The British Journal of Politics and International Relations
