Listen in pop-out player British politics is in turmoil following the EU referendum result, and the American political establishment has been turned upside down by the rise of populist candidates.

- NPR - When Drawing Districts, Should States Count Each Person Or Each Voter?
When Drawing Districts, Should States Count Each Person Or Each Voter? Nina Totenberg, NPR Morning Edition, December 8, 2015 "Until 1964, state legislative districts often varied wildly in population. In Alabama, for instance, the population variances between two state Senate districts was 41-1. In a landmark 1964 decision, the Supreme Court struck down the Alabama redistricting and ruled by an 8-1 vote that the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection mandates the principle of "one person, one vote.

- Pippa Norris - Why Elections Fail
Why Elections Fail, by Pippa Norris, Cambridge University Press, July 2015 Unfortunately too often elections around the globe are deeply flawed or even fail. What triggers these problems? In this second volume of her trilogy on electoral integrity, Pippa Norris compares structural, international, and institutional accounts as alternative perspectives to explain why elections fail to meet international standards. The book argues that rules preventing political actors from manipulating electoral governance are needed to secure integrity, although at the same time officials also need sufficient resources and capacities to manage elections effectively. Drawing on new evidence, the study determines the most effective types of strategies for strengthening the quality of electoral governance around the world. With a global perspective, this book provides fresh insights into these major issues at the heart of the study of elections and voting behavior, comparative politics, democracy and democratization, political culture, democratic governance, public policymaking, development, international relations and conflict studies, and processes of regime change.
