This book addresses the relationship between four values of
democratic theory--popular sovereignty, liberalism, personal
development, and community--and the electoral institutions used to
implement them. After a chapter sketching the electoral
institutions of Athens, the Roman Republic, the medieval church,
and pre-reform Britain, the book examines what role elections are
expected to play in a variety of democratic theories. The major
theme of this section is that the four values are largely
incompatible; therefore, different choices must be made between
them. Part II addresses the empirical consequences of electoral
institutions by examining electoral systems worldwide with the
objective of finding the institutions most appropriate to each
model of democracy. This impressive study provides empirical
information on more electoral institutions in more countries than
has ever been available in one volume before.
