Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

German-style electoral systems have become a bestseller in the charts of European and worldwide electoral reforms of the 1990s and the early twenty-first century. Combining PR with elections by majoritarian rules, usually in SSD, the German electoral system unifies two different worlds of electoral system logics. Since Central and Eastern Europe is a region where mixed electoral systems are frequently applied, it is crucial for this study to look at their functioning. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
