Book Synopsis
Shows how the size of an election victory influences subsequent candidate behaviour, voter behaviour, and even the economy

Trade Review
"In this intriguing book, James Fowler and Oleg Smirnov propose a dynamic model of electoral competition in which 'mandates,' that is, margins of victory, play a central role...This is an impressive study. The authors present an interesting blend of formal theory and inductive reasoning...There is little technical jargon and the presentation is simple and clear. The study is most impressive in its display of an amazing variety of methodological approaches...The message of the book is far from trivial... In short, this is a thoughtful and provocative book." -Perspectives on Politics
