Governments, Electoral Systems and Voter Perceptions
Sat, September 2, 10:00 to 11:30am PDT (10:00 to 11:30am PDT), LACC, 151Session Submission Type: Created Panel
Session Description
This panel focuses on government formation and type, electoral systems and their interactions in democracies. The panel examines to what extent the party composition of governments can be predicted (identified) from election results, how aspects of caretaker governments impact their legislative and executive activity – policy outputs and appointments, and how election outcomes relate to parties inclusion in government under different party and electoral systems. The panel also explores how the previous patterns of coalition government affect voters’ longer-term perceptions, and public knowledge and evaluations of minority government.
