ISBN: 9780822957348 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What makes people decide to vote? In addressing this simple question, Andre Blais examines the factors that increase or decrease turnout at the aggregate, cross-national level and considers what affects people s decision to vote or to abstain.

The Motivation to Vote: Explaining Electoral Participation
ISBN: 9780774862677 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 156 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Elections are at the heart of our democracy. Understanding citizens' decisions to vote or to abstain in elections is crucial, especially when turnout in so many established democracies is declining. In The Motivation to Vote, Andre Blais and Jean-Francois Daoust provide an original and elegant model for why people vote. They argue that the decision to vote or abstain hinges on answers to four key questions: Do I like politics? Do I have a duty to vote? Do I care about the outcome? Is it easy to vote? These considerations make sense of people's turnout decision most of the time, in a wide...

Political Leaders and Democratic Elections
ISBN: 9780199259007 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Outcomes of legislative elections are typically reported in terms of party support: how many votes and seats were obtained by each party? But in fact voters are faced with three choices which must be folded into one. They must decide which party they prefer, but in so doing they must take account of the policies advocated by these parties and the leaders who will eventually have to enact them.
This simple fact raises question about the relative weight of these considerations, and espeically the importance granted to the leaders. This issue has been largely neglected in the vast literature...

Citizens
ISBN: 9780774809191 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Citizens are at the heart of any meaningful definition of democracy. So what does it say about the health of Canadian democracy when fewer citizens are exercising their right to vote and party membership rolls are shrinking? Is an increasingly well-educated citizenry turning away from traditional electoral politics in search of more meaningful forms of democratic engagement? Or is an ever-wider swathe of Canadian society simply disengaging from politics altogether? This volume draws on a rich array of public opinion data to determine how engaged Canadians are in the country's... Citizens are at the heart of any meaningful definition of democracy.

Multi-Level Electoral Politics: Beyond the Second-Order Election Model
ISBN: 9780198791539 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. National-level elections receive more attention from scholars and the media than elections at other levels, even though in many European countries the importance of both regional and European levels of government has grown in recent years. The growing importance of multiple electoral arenas suggests that scholars should be cautious about examining single levels in isolation. Taking the multilevel structure of electoral politics seriously requires a re-examination of how the incentives created by electoral institutions affect the behaviour of voters and party elites.
The standard approach... National-level elections receive more attention from scholars and the media than elections at other levels, even though in many European countries the...
