A Good Beginning,
By R. G. Baily "GeorgeBaily.com" (Shenzhen, China) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Economic Theory of Democracy (Paperback)
Down's Economic Theory of Democracy is an easy to read introdution to the basics of voting theory. It is accessible to the casual reader as well as the hardcore acedemic. It's take on the electoral competition have become staples of high school civis as well as acedemic political theory.Down's most famous innovation is the result that two party competition leads to both parties offering the same platform in order to maximise votes. 0-----25-----50-----75----100 ----------Rep--Dem----------- This formulation is actually the Hotelling spatial competition model applied to elections. (I thought the economists may be interested!) Morover it froms the basis fro the median voter theorem.

The most misunderstood book in political science,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Economic Theory of Democracy (Paperback)
An Economic Theory of Democracy is among the most influential books in political science. It is also among the most misunderstood. The book has 300 pages of content. The famous median voter theorem represents three of them. The remaining 297 pages involve extensions, limitations and generalizations -- exactly the sort of thing that most critics think it lacks. In the end, the book is really about the problems of limited information rather than about a unidimensional spatial model.

This review is from: An Economic Theory of Democracy (Paperback)
I was assigned several chapters from this book to read for one of my political science classes. I can't say I've come across any other books like this that describe the nature of electoral politics and realignments when they occur.
My professor did mention that this book revolutionized just how we view the electoral process. A good read, one that I would recommend. Diagrams are useful.
