Abstract

This module presents a variety of studies on voting. They tackle different subjects: participation, Condorcet cycles, strategic voting, electoral campaigns, the voter’s behaviour and psychology. They use different methods that can be labelled ‘experimental’ and all of them are more or less direct tests of models and theories. The module is therefore an introduction, by examples, to various experimental methods in use in political science. The presentation in three sections goes by increasing complexity of the experiments themselves or of their analysis, starting with ‘classroom’ experiments that can be organized very simply and used for pedagogical purposes.
