概要 Recent decades have witnessed multiple attempts at electoral engineering designed to improve political representation and alter voting behavior. Norris's study compares and evaluates two broad schools...of thought about this process: rational choice institutionalism and cultural modernization. The former claims that by changing the incentives offered by electoral rules, reformers have the capacity to alter the behavior of parties, politicians, and citizens, thereby solving multiple social problems, whether ethnic conflict, improving turnout, strengthening voter-party ties, generating democratic accountability, or boosting women's representation. The alternative theories are more cautious about the capacity of electoral engineering to achieve these goals and suggest that such rules adapt to, rather than alter, human behavior. To examine these accounts Norris compares new survey evidence from some three dozen parliamentary and presidential elections in a wide range of established and newer democracies, spanning the globe. She concludes that rules do matter for the choice of electoral systems. Norris integrates the extensive literature on electoral systems with studies of voting behavior and political representation; develops a clear theoretical framework supported by original empirical research based on new cross-national data; presents the findings in an accessible, stimulating, and nontechnical manner; covers a broad sweep of nations around the globe; and provides results of interest for political scientists and policymakers in many countries.
