This book is the first in a planned trilogy by Pippa Norris on
challenges of electoral integrity to be published by Cambridge
University Press. Unfortunately too often elections around the globe
are deeply flawed or even fail. Why does this matter? It is widely
suspected that such contests will undermine confidence in elected
authorities, damage voting turnout, trigger protests, exacerbate
conflict, and occasionally lead to regime change. Well-run elections,
by themselves, are insufficient for successful transitions to
democracy. But flawed, or even failed, contests are thought to wreck
fragile progress. Is there good evidence for these claims? Under what
circumstances do failed elections undermine legitimacy? With a global
perspective, using new sources of data for mass and elite evidence,
this book provides fresh insights into these major issues.
