Book excerpt: "This book is a selection of his key essays on the distinction between power sharing and majoritarian forms of democracy and on the two crucial alternatives in constitution-making that guide a democracy in the direction of either power sharing or majoritarianism - the choice of electoral system and the choice between parliamentary and presidential government. The essays include his best known articles and chapters, but also those that have appeared in less accessible journals and books. They are placed in historical and intellectual context by a substantial new introduction outlining the developments in Lijphart's thought."--BOOK JACKET.
