Review of the hardback: 'There is much to recommend this book. Michael Hanmer has made a significant substantive and methodological contribution to the study of voting systems and electoral reform. Incorporating both substantive and methodological insights, he has carefully crafted a strong argument for considering the endogeneity of electoral reform's impact and how the forces that determine adoption of these reforms influence its impact on voter registration and turnout.'
