Using District Magnitude to Regulate Political Party Competition
探讨如何通过改变选区席位数量来平衡少数群体代表权与形成执政多数这两个目标，并分析了意大利、西班牙和美国的选举制度，建议美国采用混合选区规模的议会制。
This is an essay about the use of districting systems to regulate electoral outcomes and the evolution of party systems. By changing the number of seats from each district, a balance can be struck between the often conflicting goals of minority representation and defractionalization. Defractionalization is the process of forming broad-based governing majorities. Special attention is given to the electoral systems of Italy, Spain, and the United States. In the case of the United States, the author recommends a proportional representation system that mixes high-magnitude districts that encourage minority representation and low-magnitude districts that promote defractionalization.
