Electoral Systems
Electoral systems is a subfield of comparative politics.
Contents
Description
When electoral systems are studied with strong assumptions about rationality and utility functions, it is called institutional design.
When countries are the unit of analysis, national descriptives like ethnic cleavages and resource wealth are taken as given. Often these environmental factors explain the differential outcomes.
When parties are the unit of analysis, the structure of the state is taken as given. Often the aspects of a political system like 'district multiplicity' explain the differential outcomes.
There is structuralism, but not not necessarily individual agency.
