    摘要、提要註: Electoral systems are the central pillar of every constitutional design. To understand their effect on party systems, we need to consider the issue of territory. Electoral system studies have attempted to explain the format of party systems in post-communist democracies. Usually, proportionalrepresentation allows for large multi-party systems and single-seat district elections leading to two-party competition, yet studies on post-communist Europe seem to reveal something different. Are post-communist democracies so chaotic that they surpass the limits of theelectoral system school? Thisstudy considers the importance of territory: it matters not only how many votes parties get, but also where they get them. The book extends research on the territorial structure of party systems (party nationalization) to 20 post-communist democracies. It explains party nationalization as a consequence of ethnically oriented politics, and, by extending common models of electoral systems, it showshow party nationalization can increase our understanding of electoral systems.
