Modern political economy has implied the interaction between politics and economics to understand political, electoral and public issues in different nations, and in this volume a group of leading political economists and political scientists from Europe, America and Asia provides theoretical advances, modelling and case studies on main topics in political economy. The analysis of the role and performance of politics and democracy in diverse nations implies the study of the organization of the state, lobbying, political participation, public policies, electoral politics, public administration and the provision of public services. This book provides advances in the research frontier of these topics and combines historical evidence, institutional analysis, mathematical models and empirical analysis in an interdisciplinary approach. Political and social scientists, economists and those interested in the performance of states, democracy and elections can find new research results in this volume. 410 0$aStudies in Political Economy,$x2364-5903 606 $aWelfare economics 606 $aPolitical economy 606 $aPublic finance 606 $aDemocracy 606 $aSocial Choice/Welfare Economics/Public Choice/Political Economy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W31020 606 $aInternational Political Economy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140 606 $aPublic Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34000 606 $aDemocracy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911050 615 0$aWelfare economics. 615 0$aPolitical economy. 615 0$aPublic finance. 615 0$aDemocracy. 615 14$aSocial Choice/Welfare Economics/Public Choice/Political Economy. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy. 615 24$aPublic Economics. 615 24$aDemocracy. 676 $a302.1 702 $aSchofield$b Norman$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aCaballero$b Gonzalo$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148854003321 996 $aState, Institutions and Democracy$92263585 997 $aUNINA
