Voting for Policy, Not Parties: How Voters Compensate for Power Sharing - Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics
Kedar, Orit (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
This book proposes an institutionally embedded framework for analyzing voter choice. Voters, Kedar argues, are concerned with policy, and therefore their vote reflects post-electoral compromise (e.g. multi-party government), which dilutes their vote. This simple but overlooked principle allows Kedar to explain a broad array of seemingly unrelated electoral regularities.
