Content: This book integrates spatial and behavioral perspectives - in a word, those of the Rochester and Michigan schools - into a unified theory of voter choice and party strategy. The theory encompasses both policy and non-policy factors, effects of turnout, voter discounting of party promises, expectations of coalition governments, and party motivations based on policy as well as office. Optimal (Nash equilibrium) strategies are determined for alternative models for presidential elections in the US and France, and for parliamentary elections in Britain and Norway. These polities cover a wide range of electoral rules, number of major parties, and governmental structures. The analyses suggest that the more competitive parties generally take policy positions that come close to maximizing their electoral support, and that these vote-maximizing positions correlate strongly with the mean policy positions of their supporters.

Content: This book addresses the questions: how do voters use their own issue positions and those of candidates to decide how to vote? Does a voter tend to choose the candidate who most closely shares the views of the voter or rather a candidate who holds more extreme views due to the fact that the voters discount the candidates' abilities to implement policy. The authors develop a unified model that incorporates these and other voter motivations and assess its empirical predictions - for both voter choice and candidate strategy - in the US, Norway, and France. The analyses show that a combination of proximity, direction, discounting, and party ID are compatible with the mildly but not extremely divergent policies that are characteristic of many two-party and multiparty electorates. All of these motivations are necessary to understand the linkage between candidate issue positions and voter preferences.

Content: This book provides an up-to-date analysis of American voting rights law and the numerous controversies surrounding minority representation. Written by authors with first-hand experience in the case law, the book details the evolution of the law and precedent from 1965 onwards. The authors explain the logic underlying the major decisions, introduce the reader to the procedures for establishing standards of representation and measuring discrimination, and discuss the major points of recent contention. In conclusion, they address the implications of recent developments in voting rights law for the future of representation in America.

Content: "Four distinguished scholars in political science analyze American democracy from a comparative point of view, exploring how the U.S. political system differs from that of thirty other democracies and what those differences ultimately mean for democratic performance. This essential text approaches the following institutions from a political engineering point of view: constitutions, electoral systems, and political parties, as well as legislative, executive, and judicial power. The text looks at democracies from around the world over a two-decade time frame. The result is not only a fresh view of the much-discussed theme of American exceptionalism but also an innovative approach to comparative politics that treats the United States as but one case among many. An ideal textbook for both American and comparative politics courses"--

Content: Electoral persuasion rests at the center of the democratic process. Politicians, parties, interest groups, members of the media, and citizens themselves are constantly communicating with one another about electorally relevant topics. These communications will ultimately influence-although not always in predictable ways-voters' choices and, therefore, election outcomes and the direction of government. Scholarship on this important topic has exploded in recent decades. Yet, there have been relatively few efforts to synthesize the accumulated knowledge. In this volume, we bring together accomplished scholars who study one or more aspect of electoral persuasion-who communicates with whom about democratic politics, what they communicate about and why, how and where they communicate, and with what effect.

Note: Elections are the means by which democratic nations determine their leaders, and communication in the context of elections has the potential to shape people's beliefs, attitudes, and actions. Thus, electoral persuasion is one of the most important political processes in any nation that regularly holds elections. Moreover, electoral persuasion encompasses not only what happens in an election but also what happens before and after, involving candidates, parties, interest groups, the media, and the voters themselves. This volume surveys the vast political science literature on this subject, emphasizing contemporary research and topics and encouraging cross-fertilization among research strands. A global roster of authors provides a broad examination of electoral persuasion, with international perspectives complementing deep coverage of U.S. politics. Major areas of coverage include: general models of political persuasion; persuasion by parties, candidates, and outside groups; media influence; interpersonal influence; electoral persuasion across contexts; and empirical methodologies for understanding electoral persuasion , Classic Models of Persuasion , When, How, and Why Persuasion Fails : A Motivated Reasoning Account , The Boundary Conditions of Motivated Reasoning , Reasoned Persuasion , Persuasion and Issue Voting , Party Cues , How the News Media Persuades : Framing Effects and Beyond , The Emotional Aspects of Political Persuasion , Do Election Campaigns Matter? A Comparative Perspective and Overview , The Utility and Content of Traditional Ads , The Persuasion Effects of Political Endorsements , Mobilization Strategies and Get Out the Vote , Appealing to Diverse Electorates in the United States , Gendered Aspects of Political Persuasion in Campaigns , Persuasion and Non-Party Groups in the Digital Age , Interest Groups and Elections , How Electoral Spending Relates to Political Persuasion , Low-Resource Candidates and Fundraising Appeals , Campaigns and Elections in a Changing Media Landscape , Beyond Infotainment: Political-Entertainment Media and Electoral Persuasion , Horse-Race and Game-Framed Journalism’s Effects on Turnout, Vote Choice, and Attitudes toward Politic , Misinformation, Fake News, and Dueling Fact Perceptions in Public Opinion and Elections , Conspiracy Theories , Polarization and Media Usage : Disentangling Causality , National and Cross-National Perspectives on Political Media Bias , The Incentives and Effects of Independent and Government-Controlled Media in the Developing World , Persuasion in Interpersonal Networks , Social Network Effects in Developing Countries , Voter Mobilization in Intimate Networks , Citizen Deliberation Online , Networks and Media Influence , Bandwagon Effects, Information Cascades, and the Power in Numbers , Lobbying Networks , Electoral Persuasion in the New Democracies : Challenges and Opportunities , A Menu of Clientelist Methods to Buy and Coerce Voters : The Dark Side of Electoral Persuasion , How and Why the Populist Radical Right Persuades Citizens , The Strategic Adaptation of the Populist Radical Right in Western Europe : Shifting the Party Message , Party Nominations and Electoral Persuasion , Persuasion and Ballot Propositions , Online versus Offline Strategies in Comparative Perspective , Voting Advice Applications : The Power of Self-Persuasion , How Voters Distort their Perceptions and Why this Matters , Accounting for Complex Survey Designs: Strategies for Post-stratification and Weighting of Internet Surveys , Debating How to Measure Media Exposure in Surveys , Studying Electoral Persuasion Using Online Experiments , Citizens, Elites, and Social Media: Methodological Challenges and Opportunities in the Study of Persuasion and Mobilization

Content: Some of the nation's leading experts look at various aspects of election administration, including issues of ballot format, changes in registration procedures, the growth in the availability of absentee ballot rules and other forms of 'convenience voting', and changes in the technology used to record our votes. They also look at how the Bush v. Gore decision has been used by courts that monitor the election process and at the consequences of changes in practice for levels of invalid ballots, magnitude of racial disparities in voting, voter turnout, and access to the ballot by those living outside the United States. The editors, in their introduction, also consider the normative question of exactly what we want a voting system to do. An epilogue by two leading election law specialists looks at how election administration and election contest issues played out in the 2012 presidential election.
