Electoral Politics Summary

Electoral Politics by Dennis Kavanagh (Professor of Politics, Professor of Politics, University of Liverpool)

Elections are universal methods of political choice and decision-making. This book has commissioned essays on key topics of voting behaviour, election rules, the media, election pacts, and the consequences of elections. The essays are by distinguished authors drawn from both sides of the Atlantic, including Donald Stokes, Austin Ranney, Richard Rose, Anthony King, and Dennis Kavanagh. They form a tribute to the famous student of elections, David Butler.

Electoral Politics Reviews

`the essays focus largely but not entirely on British elections. More strikingly uniform is the high quality of the several chapters ... a thoughtful placement of Butler's work in the British empirical tradition ... Such treatment, is consistent with insightful understanding vividly expressed' British Politics Group Newsletter
`contains a wonderful summary by Dennis Kavanagh of Butler's academic contributions, and several perceptive chapters by collaborators and former students dissecting topics in British politics' Political Studies
`The preponderance of this book focuses on electoral arrangements. These essays enhance one's understanding of this critical issue ... The anthology's strength lies in the broad range of important election issues it addresses and the scholars addressing them ... There are few edited works that endure the test of time, but Electoral Politics will be such a book because it embraces the fundamental questions of elections. The book is written for the scholarly community, yet due to the range of work, others who are interested in elections will find it, or parts of it, excellent reading.'
