note = {“Elections in Europe” is the eagerly awaited concluding part of a
wider project covering electoral data worldwide. It completes the
series of volumes focusing on Africa, on Asia and the Pacific, and on
the Americas, all published by Oxford University Press. A comparative
introduction on elections and electoral systems, given by the editors,
is followed by chapters on each European state written by renowned
specialists. Applying systematic criteria and uniform concepts to the
information that has been collected, each chapter explains the
historical, political, and legal context in which elections take
place.The chapters also provide exhaustive statistics on all national
elections and referendums conducted in the respective countries.
Political scientists worldwide welcome this indispensable source for
scholars in the field of cross-national political research. There is
no comparable work on the subject.<i>“These election volumes are a
precious, indispensable source of information for cross-national
political research. There is no comparable work on the
subject”.</i>Giovanni Sartori, Professor Emeritus, Columbia
University, New York<i>“These data handbooks are a wonderfully rich,
precise, and comprehensive resource for social scientists and others
who do comparative research on elections worldwide. Elections in
Europe is a truly monumental and admirable volume!” </i>Arend
Lijphart, Professor Emeritus, University of California, San
Diego<i>“Elections in Europe constitutes an extraordinary effort.
Along with the other volumes in the series it provides a reliable,
systematic and analytical source of election data and documentation on
electoral systems. An entire discipline will be able to rely on it for
years to come. The authors must be congratulated for providing the
scientific community with such a valuable instrument”.</i>Daniele
