English | ISBN: 0367006472 | 2021 | 238 pages | EPUB | 819 KB
The far-reaching impact of the latest parliamentary elections in the Middle East is examined in this volume. After an introduction that analyses the trends illustrated by the elections and their implications for regional stability, the book discusses recent elections in Turkey, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and Kuwait. Individual chapters analyze the influence of pre-1980 patterns in the party system and voting on Turkey's 1983 election; the balloting in Egypt's 1984 election as a turning point toward democratization in contemporary Egyptian politics; the significance of Israel's 1984 election in view of the relatively small differences in objectives between Israel's right-wing Likud and the centrist Labor party; the role of traditional tribal influences and new political factions in Jordan's 1984 elections; and the influence of newly emerging social groups in Kuwait's 1985 election. The contributors discuss differences in party programs and platforms, the extent of control by elites, and the relevance of the elections to crucial economic and social problems and political stability

Prannoy Roy & Dorab R. Sopariwala, "The Verdict: Decoding India's Elections"
English | ISBN: 0670092266 | 2019 | 304 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
What are the key factors that win or lose elections in India? What does, or does not, make India's democracy tick? Is this the end of anti-incumbency? Are opinion polls and exit polls reliable? How pervasive is the 'fear factor'? Does the Indian woman's vote matter? Does the selection of candidates impact results? Are elections becoming more democratic or less so? Can electronic voting machines (EVMs) be fiddled with? Can Indian elections be called 'a jugaad system'? Published on the eve of India's next general elections, The Verdict will use rigorous psephology, original research and as-yet-undisclosed facts to talk about the entire span of India's electoral history from the first elections in 1952. Crucially, for 2019, it provides pointers to look out for, to see if the incumbent government will win or lose. Written by Prannoy Roy, renowned for his knack of demystifying electoral politics, and Dorab R. Sopariwala, this book will be compulsory reading for anyone interested in politics and elections in India.

English | 2021 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B08X4VLMRD | 60 pages | MOBI | 0.10 Mb
The US presidential election on November the 3rd 2020 was anything but ordinary. Thus, a few months before the elections, by request from the democratic party and mostly left-wing groups, the laws of vote by mail were changed, which resulted in nearly half of the voters voting in this way. After the elections, complaints from Donald Trump's legal team for electoral fraud were constant, stating that they had miles of evidence and sworn statements from witnesses in this regard, although these statements were constantly discredited by the media saying that there was not any piece of evidence or proof regarding this alleged fraud.
