Description

Book Synopsis

Based on statistical analyses and case studies, this book seeks to uncover how electoral rules are decided within the Russian Federation, and by whom. Aiming to enhance our understanding of electoral system choice, it investigates the origins of the legislative electoral systems in the different regions of the Russian Federation.

Trade Review

Tightly argued... Moraski's study is one of the first to tackle head-on the "endogeneity problem" in research on electoral institutions. He constructs ingenious measures to test many of the key factors that political scientists hypothesize as influencing institutional choices.

* Perspectives on Politics *

An interesting and well-conceived book... combines sophisticated quantitative analysis with a focused comparison of four Russian regions and concludes with implications for current developments in Russia.

* SLAVIC REVIEW *

A rich and stimulating book. An exemplary study... intriguing throughout.

* SLAVONIC AND EAST EUROPEAN REVIEW *
