In ethnically plural societies, elections take on extra significance as the rules and regulations on which they are based provide important levers to guarantee or prevent adequate representation of different communal groups within the key institutions of the state. As a consequence, elections and electoral systems are contested vigorously. This book examines the ethnopolitical dimensions of electoral system design, election campaigns, and results. It conceptualises the dynamics underlying depth analysis of recent elections within such societies on a comparative and single-case basis, including: Macedonia, Slovakia, Belgium, Malaysia, Singapore, Rwanda, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago. =650 4$$a Elections =700 #$$a Stefan Wolff =990 ##$$a 10249/MKRI-P/XI-2008 =990 ##$$a 10250/MKRI-P/XI-2008
