Wrestling with democracy: voting systems as politics in the twentieth-century West
In: Studies in comparative political economy and public policy, [39]
"Though sharing broadly similar processes of economic and political development from the mid-to-late nineteenth century onward, western countries have diverged greatly in their choice of voting systems: most of Europe shifted to proportional voting around the First World War, while Anglo-American countries have stuck with relative majority or majority voting rules. Using a comparative historical approach, Wrestling with Democracy examines why voting systems have (or have not) changed in western industrialized countries over the past century.

Review Essay - Democratic Leviathan: Defending First-Past-the-Post in Canada
In: Canadian political science review: CPSR ; a new journal of political science, Band 12, Heft 1, S. 24-49
ISSN: 1911-4125
This review essay examines a number of recent books claiming to offer a defence of Canada's traditonal first past the post voting system. The works can be divided into two camps, one Conservative, the other liberal, though their logic, arguments, and evidence are surprisingly similar. Through a detailed engagement with each work, this review argues that both versions ultimately defend first past the post as an effective 'democratic leviathan' in that the voting system tends to produce a strong, single party legislative majority government that can rule unhindered while it remains in office. Thus, for these authors, considerations of stability and legislative efficiency trump all other concerns e.g. representation, diversity, majority rule, electoral competitiveness, etc. However, in making their case, the contributors largely fail to seriously engage opposing views or the relevant academic literatures, particularly relevant Canadian work.
