Reviews / Votes
"Paolo Serafini has the merit of presenting in a synthetic and pedagogical way the main aspects of the voting theory. This book would be well suited for undergraduate and graduate students who are new to voting theory . . the book is very enjoyable to read . . The present book adds its stone to the series of books on voting theory while distinguishing itself by its pedagogy and simplicity." (Eric Kamwa, Journal of Economics, Vol. 134, 2021)
"This book exposes a variety of social choice systems . . The electoral rules for the formation of the government of several countries are discussed, as examples of application of different aggregation methods, their particular problems and shortcomings are highlighted and opportunities of improvement underlined." (Annibal Parracho Sant'Anna, zbMATH 1476.91002, 2022)More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
