Hallo Travis,
in case you happen to speak German, I strongly recommend the books of
Dieter Nohlen on the subject; the mathematical aspects are neither
treated too strong or too well, but the interaction of electoral
system, party system and other components of the political system are
being investigated into quite deeply.
Personally, as we currently do have some disputes again in Austria
about a change to an electoral system manufacturing majorities, I am
deeply committed to exact proportional represenatation
(Hare-Niemeyer) without any tresholds (as used in the election for
the election of the Volkskammer 1990 in the GDR).
Grtnx, Stefan
