Description:

Constitutional Democracy examines how the basic constitutional structure of governments affects what they can accomplish. It also examines the links between the structure of democratic government and the outcomes it achieves by drawing comparisons between the American system and other government systems around the world. The book analyses the function and impact on government outcomes of each of the central institutions and features of democraticsystems.

Synopsis:

Constitutional Democracy systematically examines how the basic constitutional structure of governments affects what they can accomplish. This relationship is especially important at a time when Americans are increasingly disillusioned about government's fundamental ability to reach solutions for domestic problems, and when countries in the former Soviet bloc and around the world are rewriting their constitutions. Political economist Mueller illuminates the links between the structure of democratic government and the outcomes it achieves by drawing comparisons between the American system and other government systems around the world. Working from the "public choice" perspective in political science, the book analyses electoral rules, voting rules, federalism, bicameralism, citizenship, and separation of powers.
