Reviews
Overall, this book offers a compelling model of how to analyze the connections between the traits of electoral systems and the behavior of representatives...The authors' stated goals for this book were to contribute to the understanding of the politics of the EU and to the understanding of the politics electoral systems. They have been achieved admirably. * Richard S. Flickinger The Review of Politics *
