The United States runs its elections unlike any other country in the world. Responsibility for elections is entrusted to local officials in approximately 8,000 different jurisdictions.

The recent string of minority governments has reminded Canadians that voting behaviour has serious consequences � on the composition of government as well as on the direction of public policy. Understanding the underlying meaning of election results is a key issue for policy makers and for students and scholars of politics. But can voting behaviour be explained, given that each vote represents the influence of countless impressions, decisions, and attachments? Voting Behaviour in Canada reveals the challenges of understanding election results as leading young scholars of political behaviour piece together a comprehensive portrait of the modern Canadian voter. By systematically exploring long-standing attachments, short-term influences, and proximate factors (campaign issues and poll results), the contributors offer a multifaceted analysis of voting behaviour that incorporates the insights of theories developed to illuminate the influence of certain factors. Theoretically grounded and methodologically advanced, Voting Behaviour in Canada sheds new light on the choices we make as citizens and provides important insights into recent national developments.

Quanti sono e dove si concentrano? Questo volume offre una lettura aggiornata sulle esperienze del voto italiano nel mondo dal 2003 ad oggi, l'analisi dei risultati di un'indagine sulla partecipazione degli italiani in Australia alle elezioni politiche del 2006, nonché spunti, riflessioni e considerazioni sul tema dell'emigrazione italiana.

Hauptbeschreibung Eurobarometer shared recently that 41% of the EU citizens get their main information on European topics from daily newspapers. This is also the case for those citizens who decided on the adaption of the Lisbon treaty in the two nationwide referendums, in Ireland.

This book presents a theory of descriptive elections that posits that mixed-gender elections see higher voter turnout and voter engagement (lower alienation and indifference and higher interest) as well as greater discussion of campaign issues. They test this theory by examining congressional, gubernatorial, and state legislative races and find that descriptive elections see higher levels of voter participation and engagement but differ little from other elections in issue focus.
