The authors examine the power plays at work in the development and implementation of proportional representation in their respective countries and they consider the ways in which the electoral system has impacted election campaign strategies. The final chapter by Douglas Kellner (George F.Kellner Philosophy of Education Chair, Social Sciences and Comparative Education, UCLA) relates the issue to contemporary politics in the United States by using the 2000 U.S. presidential election to investigate the ways in which democracy is served, and disserved, by the electoral system."--Jacket.Frontiers in political communication ;v. 5.Proportional representationDemocracyPolitical campaignsAufsatzsammlung.swdProportional representation.Democracy.Political campaigns.324.7Roper Juliet987081Holtz-Bacha Christina987082Mazzoleni Gianpietro120231DLCDLCBOOK9910345134403321The politics of representation2255629UNINAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
