The intention is to highlight the fact that no matter how an electoral system has been designed, and regardless of the intentions of those who devised the system, there will be goals that are impossible to achieve but also opportunities for improving the situation in an informed way. While detailed descriptions of electoral systems are not provided, many references are made to current or past situations, both as examples and to underline particular problems and shortcomings. In addition, a new voting method that avoids the many paradoxes of voting theory is described in detail. While some knowledge of mathematics is required in order to gain the most from the book, every effort has been made to ensure that the subject matter is easily accessible for non-mathematicians, too. In short, this is a book for anyone who wants to understand the meaning of voting. | | 出版日期 | Book 2020 | | 关键词 | Voting theory; Social choice paradoxes; Arrow impossibility theorem; Majority judgement; US Congress; Sea | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-38368-8 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-38367-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-38368-8 | | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020 |
