Opis

While population affects nearly every aspect of politics, its impact has been strikingly under-researched. This book rectifies this omission by examining scale effects across a great variety of political dimensions, encompassing all levels of politics. The authors provide generalizable findings alongside detailed analyses of specific cases.
