Political commentators seem to know how such rules influence political behavior. They firmly believe, \u003cbr\u003efor example, that candidates running in plurality systems are better known and held more accountable to their constituencies than candidates competing in elections governed by proportional representation. However, such assertions rest on shaky ground simply because solid empirical knowledge to\u003cbr\u003eevaluate the impact of political institutions on individual political behavior is still lacking. \u003cem\u003eThe Comparative Study of Electoral Systems\u003c\/em\u003e has collected data on political institutions and on individual political behavior and scrutinized it carefully. In line with common wisdom results of most\u003cbr\u003eanalyses presented in this volume confirm that political institutions matter for individual political behavior but, contrary to what is widely believed, they do not matter much.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans-Dieter Klingemann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e OUP UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199642397\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHans-Dieter Klingemann\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor Emeritus at the Social Science Research Center, Berlin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OUP UK","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39934237507699,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":64.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_3665f3ec-e141-42d3-a7bb-e4f0e37da316.jpg?v=1647878456","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/the-comparative-study-of-electoral-systems-9780199642397","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
