Description:
This book argues that strange election outcomes should become less likely as voters' preferences become more mutually coherent. It also focuses on the Condorcet Criterion, which states that pairwise majority rule winner should be chosen as the election winner.
Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"This book bridges the gap between the theoretical literature showing the possibility of counterintuitive results and the empirical findings of many experiments in which these counterintuitive results hardly or not at all appear. This is a very well written book, extremely rich in information, integrating many existing and new results and with an impressive number of references to the literature. It is an important and relevant step forward in the Theory of Social Choice, highly recommended to anyone interested in this field." (H. C. M. de Swart, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1252, 2012)
