Mathematics and Democracy, Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2006 Recent Advances in Voting Systems and Collective Choice Studies in Choice and Welfare Series
In this book, different quantitative approaches to the study of electoral systems have been developed: game-theoretic, decision-theoretic, statistical, probabilistic, combinatorial, geometric, and optimization ones. All the authors are prominent scholars from these disciplines. Quantitative approaches offer a powerful tool to detect inconsistencies or poor performance in actual systems. Applications to concrete settings such as EU, American Congress, regional, and committee voting are discussed.
