This volume brings together eight original essays selected to
provide an overview of the developments in the spatial theory of
voting. The spatial theory of self-interest and explores the
consequences of this assumption for elite behaviour and for the
choices voters make in representative and direct democracies. The
book summarizes work in eight major areas: elections with possible
entry by new candidates who have policy preferences, experimental
testing of spatial models of committees and elections, elections
with imperfect information about voting intentions, voting on
alternatives that are linked to future decisions, elections with
candidates who have policy preferences, experimental testing of
spatial manoeuvres designed to alter voting outcomes, elections
with experimental testing of spatial models of committees and
elections, elections with imperfect information about voting
intentions, voting on alternatives that are linked to future
decisions, elections with more than two candidates under different
election rules, and bureaucratic efforts to manipulate referendum
voting. Recognized scholars in these areas summarize the major
results of their own and others' work, providing self-contained
discussions that will apprise readers of important recent advances.
