Cover; Half-title; Series-title; Title; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; Illustrations; Tables; Acknowledgements; Abbreviations; 1 Introduction: democracy in divided societies; 2 The historical development of preferential voting; 3 Centripetal incentives and political engineering in Australia; 4 The rise and fall of centripetalism in Papua New Guinea; 5 Electoral engineering and conflict management in divided societies (I): Fiji and Sri Lanka compared; 6 Electoral engineering and conflict management in divided societies (II): Northern Ireland, Estonia and beyond.

Summary: Reilly analyses the design of electoral systems for divided societies, examining various divided societies which utilise 'vote-pooling' systems - including Sri Lanka, Northern Ireland and Fiji. Political institutions which encourage broad-based, aggregative political parties can, under certain conditions, encourage moderate, accommodatory political competition - influencing the trajectory of democratization in transitional states.
