Preface
This book contains 16 contributions that were presented in the workshop “Voting experiments,” organized by the editors in Montreal on March 28–29, 2014. This workshop, where presentations were selected after an open call for papers, was organized within the framework of the Making Electoral Democracy Work Project. The Making Electoral Democracy Work Project is a 7-year research project, started in 2009 and funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. The goal of the study is to examine how the rules of the game influence parties and voters. The study has three components: (1) an Internet survey of voters in 26 elections in five countries; (2) an analysis of party strategies in the same 26 elections; and (3) a series of experiments designed to complement the analyses of party and voter behavior. The project, directed by Andre´ Blais, involves an interdisciplinary team of researchers from Canada, the USA, and Europe. The experiments presented in this book are not intended to constitute a representative sample of all the voting experiments which have recently been conducted over the years by political scientists, psychologists, or economists. Many chapters are coauthored b
