Based on a four year research project investigating voting
behavior, "Topics In Social Choice" begins with the well-known
premise that different voting procedures may lead to different
outcomes. The author then fills a void in present literature by
comparing voting procedures in terms of four issues: sophisticated
versus sincere voting; sophisticated voters and simultaneous versus
sequential voting; voter efficacy in plurality and approval voting;
and the use of normative standards to compare outcomes. He proposes
both a new model of sophisticated voting and normative standards
for proportional representation procedures. This study addresses
both the general reader interested in voting issues and the serious
student of voting schemes, voting behavior, and social choice
theory.
"Topics In Social Choice" is divided into three parts
representing its three themes. It addresses theoretical and
experimental aspects of sophisticated voting; the problem of
efficacy and correct decision; and it concludes with an
investigation of fair proportional representation. The volume
represents the first attempt to address sophisticated and yet
simultaneous voting. It is also the first to subject various voting
models to competitive testing and provide a set of normative
criteria for systems evaluation.
