Votes, Party Systems and Democracy in Asia

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book looks at the link between votes and political party systems in Asian democracies, focusing on India, Indonesia, Korea and the Philippines. It discusses this link in terms of three distinct elements: the formation of voters' preferences, the translation of preferences into votes, and the translation of votes into seats, and explores the extent to which electoral rules and social structural variables affect the process of transforming votes into a Asian political party system.
