The design of an electoral system is fundamental to any democracy.
It is through electoral systems that the commitment of a society to
a political system is achieved. The peculiarities of an electoral
system assume significant importance in periods in which democratic
polities seem caught between a crisis of confidence in their
representative systems and mass apathy over the product of
government - as has recently occurred in Italy. Electoral rules
constrain available choice alternatives and therefore have profound
effects on governance of a country since different electoral rules
generate different outcome patterns even with no change in the
identity of candidates. The two most common electoral schemes are
proportional representation and plurality. The theoretical debate
concerning these two systems is of intense interest not least
because of the importance of finding a stable, democratic and
representative institutional structure that can be employed
worldwide. This topical book analyses the change of electoral rules
in Italy from proportional representation toward plurality. While
Italy is used as the illustrative case, the analysis has
far-ranging theoretical and practical implications, and will
therefore be of interest to academics and researchers of political
economy, constitutionalism and public choice.
