Description
This four-volume collection provides a rich overview of one of the core areas of political science research: voting. The quantitative study of voting behavior (psephology) in particular has developed as a highly specialized field since the 1980s and has spawned a vast literature from a wide array of theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches. This set maps out the development of psephology in the post-war period to its current state, and covers the following broad themes:
- Historical evolution of voting studies
- Sociological models
- Cognition and the voter calculus
- Electoral systems
- The electoral context
- Debates and methodology
