Elections for Sale offers the first comprehensive analysis of this widespread but ill-understood practice. The authors systematically explore a series of key questions: What exactly is vote buying? What are its underlying causes? Why does it occur in some places, but not in others? How does it affect political and economic development? Can it be educated or legislated away? Their work presents new theoretical insights, as well as fresh empirical evidence from Asia and Latin America UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781626372085 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781626372085 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781626372085/original ER -
