This book compares the consequences of electoral rules and
cultural modernization for many dimensions of political
representations and voting behavior. It includes patterns of party
competition, the strength of social cleavages and party loyalties,
levels of turnout, the gender and ethnic diversity of parliaments,
and the provisions of constituency service. The study covers
elections held from 1996 to 2002 in newer as well as established
democracies that range from the U.S., Australia, and Switzerland to
Peru, Taiwan and Ukraine.
