Election Watchdogs
Oxford University Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-19-067781-7 (ISBN)
In response to these developments, there have been growing attempts to analyze flaws in electoral integrity and transparency using systematic data from cross-national time-series, forensic analysis, field experiments, case studies, and new instruments monitoring mass and elite perceptions of malpractices. This volume collects essays from international experts who evaluate the robustness, conceptual validity, and reliability of the growing body of evidence. The essays compare alternative approaches and apply these methods to evaluate the quality of elections in several areas, including the United States, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America. Election Watchdogs:Transparency, Accountability and Integrity presents new insights into the importance of diverse actors who promote electoral transparency, accountability, and ultimately the integrity of electoral governance.
Pippa Norris is the Maguire Lecturer in Comparative Politics at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, as well as Laureate Fellow and Professor of Government and International Relations at the University of Sydney. She is Director of the Electoral Integrity Project. Alessandro Nai is Assistant Professor of Political Communication and Journalism at the University of Amsterdam.
