More Parties or No Parties

The Politics of Electoral Reform in America

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In More Parties or No Parties, Jack Santucci traces the origins and performance of proportional representation in US cities, the reasons for repeal in all but one case, and discusses the implications of this history for current reform movements in US cities and states, as well as at the national level. Santucci also introduces a new shifting-coalitions theory, which argues that electoral reform is likely in periods of party-system instability. Drawing on extensive research in cities with experience of proportional representation, Santucci provides a timely and insightful theory of electoral reform with advice for the next generation of reformers.
