      abstract = {This timely book presents a critique of binary majority  rule and provides insights into why, in many instances, the  outcome of a two-option ballot does not accurately reflect  the will of the people. Based on the author's first-hand  experience, majority-voting is argued to be a catalyst of  populism and its divisive outcomes have prompted countless  disputes throughout Europe and Asia. In like manner, simple  majority rule is seen as a cause of conflict in war zones,  and of dysfunction in so-called stable democracies. In  order to safeguard democracy, an all-party power-sharing  approach is proposed, which would make populism less  attractive to voters and governments alike. In  geographically arranged chapters, well-tested alternative  voting procedures (e. g. non-majoritarian Modified Borda  Count) are presented in case studies of Northern Ireland,  Central Europe, the Balkans, the Caucasus, Russia, China,  North Korea and Mongolia.},
