{"product_id":"democracy-in-divided-societies-9780521797306","title":"Democracy in Divided Societies","description":"Reilly analyzes the design of electoral systems for divided societies, examining various divided societies which utilize \"vote-pooling\" electoral systems--including Papua New Guinea, Sri Lanka, Northern Ireland and Fiji. He shows that political institutions which encourage the development of broad-based, aggregative political parties and where campaigning politicians have incentives to attract votes from a range of ethnic groups can, under certain conditions, encourage a moderate, accommodatory political competition and thus influence the trajectory of democratization in transitional states. This is a challenge to orthodox approaches to democracy and conflict management.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Reilly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/13\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521797306","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40682121527411,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":49.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_47e1704c-a000-4667-8a34-eedbf766510f.jpg?v=1674748322","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/democracy-in-divided-societies-9780521797306","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
