The Electoral System of Bosnia and Herzegovina: A Short Review of Political Matter and/or Technical Perplexion MAJA SAHADŽIĆ Faculty of Law, University of Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina The Dayton Proximity Talks were held in the Wright - Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, USA from 1-21 November 1995. They resulted with the General Framework Agreement for Peace in Bosnia and Herzegovina (e.g. Dayton Peace Accords, Dayton Peace Agreement) that was signed by the Re- public of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of Croatia and the Federal Re- public of Yugoslavia and witnessed by USA, UK, Germany, France, Russia and an EU special negotiator. The Dayton Peace Accords ended the conflict in Bos- nia and Herzegovina and shaped a basis for peace. But, the most important issues for democratic functioning of the state have not become conciliated with international legal standards; such as elections and the electoral system. The Dayton Peace Accords arose from compromises and different trade-offs which account for many open questions regarding the Bosnian electoral system. Key words: electoral system, Bosnia and Herzegovina, political and technical issues, elections, Dayton Peace Agreement 1.

WP 2023 – August 2020 Retelling the Story of the 2017 French Presidential Election: The contribution of Approval VotingA Review Antoinette Baujard, Isabelle Lebon Abstract: This paper proposes an alternative reading of the politics of the 2017 French presidential election, using an unstudied source of information on voters’ preferences: experimental data on approval voting. We provide a new narrative of the election process and outcome. The principal approach for understanding the political context has for many decades been a distinction between left and right-wing political forces. We introduce a method for generating an endogenous political axis, and construct three indices so that we might understand how and why the conventional approach has become progressively irrelevant. We find no gender effect, but instead an age effect.

  • Candidates Or Parties? Objects of Electoral Choice in Ireland*
    p. 1 Candidates or parties? Objects of electoral choice in Ireland* Michael Marsh Department of Political Science Trinity College Dublin Republic of Ireland [email protected] http://www.tcd.ie/Political_Science/Staff/Michael.Marsh Party Politics: Forthcoming * I want to thank John Garry, Fiachra Kennedy and Richard Sinnott for comments on an earlier draft of this paper. Versions of the paper have been presented at departmental seminars in Trinity College Dublin and in the Universities of Aberdeen and Trondheim, as well as at APSA in 2003 and Political Studies Association of Ireland meeting in 2005. I am grateful to all participants for their suggestions. I am also grateful to the Irish Council for Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences for a senior research scholarship 2002-2003 which gave me time to write the initial draft of this paper. p. 2 Abstract Under many electoral systems voters can choose between candidates and under some, between candidates of the same party, a situation that makes it possible for candidates to seek a personal vote. Studies of particular countries have shown how personal voting is apparent in the success of particular types of candidates, notably incumbents, but there is little systematic study of personal motives among the electors themselves. The single transferable vote system (STV) used in Ireland certainly allows electors to choose between candidates as well as parties and so is seen to provide a strong incentive for candidates to seek personal votes. While aggregate evidence from election results has pointed to the primary importance of party, survey data has suggested that close to a majority of voters are primarily candidate centred.
