簡介
這部學術專書係由美國密西根大學出版社(University of Michigan Press)出版,由本校政治系講座教授黃紀與本校及中央研究院合聘助研究員鮑彤(Nathan Batto),加上紐西蘭坎特伯里大學(University of Canterbury)Alexander Tan 教授與史丹佛大學政治系講座教授Gary W. Cox共同主編,集合了臺、美、日、紐21位一流學者,討論臺灣、日本、泰國、菲律賓、紐西蘭、德國、俄國、波利維亞等國家所採取的「混合選舉制度」的異同,解析選舉制度對於政黨體系的影響,而憲政制度在這些國家又如何影響政黨體系。
本書在學理上超越了傳統對國會選制效應的「立法中心」觀點,進而提出國會選制的影響更應從憲政體制下之「行政中心」的觀點(executive-centric theory)來評估,方能洞悉為何相似的國會選制會產生不同的效應。
這本書肇始於一個簡單的研究問題:為什麼日本與臺灣的國會選舉,都從相同的單記不可讓渡投票制,改採單一選區兩票制,但是臺灣比日本更快地接近理論預期的兩黨制?作者們提出的回答是:我們必須考慮選舉制度所在的政府體制,才能解釋選舉制度對於政黨體系的影響。臺灣因為採用贏者全拿的半總統制,基本上在選後沒有太多的黨際合作,因此減少了政黨成員跨黨合作甚至另組新黨的誘因。
