Reformers have sought to achieve either greater government accountability through majoritarian arrangements or wider parliamentary diversity through proportional formula. Underlying the normative debates are important claims about the impact and consequences of electoral reform for political representation and voting behavior. The study compares and evaluates two broad schools of thought, each offering contracting expectations. One popular approach claims that formal rules define electoral incentives facing parties, politicians and citizens. By changing these rules, rational choice institutionalism claims that we have the capacity to shape political behavior. Alternative cultural modernization theories differ in their emphasis on the primary motors driving human behavior, their expectations about the pace of change, and also their assumptions about the ability of formal institutional rules to alter, rather than adapt to, deeply embedded and habitual social norms and patterns of human behavior. 606 $aElections 606 $aVoting 606 $aParty affiliation 606 $aRepresentative government and representation 606 $aComparative government 615 0$aElections. 615 0$aVoting. 615 0$aParty affiliation. 615 0$aRepresentative government and representation. 615 0$aComparative government. 676 $a324.6/3 700 $aNorris$b Pippa$0144668 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818214203321 996 $aElectoral engineering$93998963 997 $aUNINA
