Electoral systems in the Member States of the European Union

May 2018, Werner T. Bauer, 102 pages

The study provides a so far unique compact overview of constitutions, forms of states and governments, parliaments, regional structures and above all electoral systems in the 27 Member States of the EU. As a precursor, it depicts the fundamental differences as well as the advantages and disadvantages of majority and proportional representation rights. Following this, it portrays the individual Member States, their national institutions and electoral systems. And it concludes with a comparing analysis of state and electoral systems. Due to the fact that this study also includes the most significant key figures of the states as well as listing the current heads of state and governments, it is an indispensable reference work for anybody with an interest in politics.
