选举制度与政党制度：1945-1990年27个国家的实证研究

by Arend Lijphart, 阿伦·利普哈特, 谢岳 (Translator)

摆在我们面前的是新制度主义政治学大师的又一部力作，它完成于20世纪90年代，虽然研究方法带有浓厚的美国色彩和比较政治学的痕迹，但是这恰恰构成了其学术价值的重要组成部分，特别对中国政治学界来说，如何将政党和选举研究赋予更加科学和国际化的意义，比较研究方法显然是一种有效的工具。

A Critique of Lijphart's Electoral Systems and Party Systems
Alberto Penados

Centre for Advanced Study in the Social Sciences, Madrid

Below it will be argued that Lijphart's conclusions with respect to the fundamental theme of the book, namely the impact of electoral systems on party systems, are neither convincing nor substantiated by his data.

It will be suggested that both the formulation of hypotheses and the empirical testing of these are flawed.

........

Lijphart's latest book is the fruit of an ambitious research project on the consequences of the electoral systems in the 27 countries with the most consolidated democracies.

In it he defends the thesis that certain fundamental variables of the electoral system, above all the so-called effective threshold of representation and, to a lesser degree, the electoral formula, have a decisive effect on the proportionality of electoral results and, again to a lesser degree, the fragmentation of party systems and their capacity to generate majorities.
