This is a very welcome new edition of a textbook on electoral systems that I have consistently recommended to students for over a dozen years! It covers the main types of electoral systems in excellent detail and complements this with a discussion of the effects of electoral systems and electoral reform. It is written in an accessible style and provides many interesting examples which, commendably, are not confined to Western European democracies
