Abstract
There is still a significant interest of the expert public and the political scene participants alike in mixed electoral systems. But even in spite of this considerable interest it can't be said that the political science has been able to come up with a satisfactory, generally accepted categorization of mixed electoral systems.
That is why the aim of this book is also to point to certain chaos that exists in the categorization of mixed electoral systems, though it certainly was not its ambition to come up with a new theoretic concept. But it presents several case studies that work towards a deeper and more detailed description of the work of selected electoral systems and also point out numerous difficulties that electoral engineering has to face both in theory and practice.
