'a useful text'
Nevil Johnson, Nuffield College, Oxford, Political Studies,
1993
`The selected readings are worthy of what Lijphart describes as a
`great debate'. The classics are here ... The collection is well
rounded off by a debate on the relationship of institutional
arrangements and practical outcomes, with Donald Horowitz and
Seymour Lipset on the pitfalls of comparisons and the significance
of political cultures. Nothing in the book is uninteresting.'
Journal of Political Science
`Should prove a valuable source not only for teaching purposes but
for anyone who wishes to delve into this topic of longstanding
debate but continuing relevance.'
Australian Journal of International Affairs
