Reviews

'...an unrivalled source for current and future scholarship in the field...As a source book for electoral studies this is simply unparalleled...If this doesn't tempt researchers away from their traditional over-reliance on survey data, then nothing will. This is an essential book.' - Peter Mair, Leiden University, Party Politics

'This handbook will set the standard for what electoral handbooks should be like from now on...Certainly any serious student of European elections will wish to own it.' - Gary W. Cox, Lijphart Elections Archive
