Why Election systems change - some sources of information

from Wiki "Electoral system" A few scholars also studied which effects caused a nation to switch to a particular electoral system:

Arend Lijphart (1985) "The Field of Electoral Systems Research: A Critical Survey" Electoral Studies, Vol. 4 Arend Lijphart (1992) "Democratization and Constitutional Choices in Czecho-Slovakia, Hungary and Poland, 1989–1991" ''Journal of Theoretical Politics'' Vol. 4 (2), pp. 207–23 Stein Rokkan (1970) ''Citizens, Elections, Parties: Approaches to the Comparative Study of the Process of Development'', Universitetsforlaget Ronald Rogowski (1987) "Trade and the Variety of Democratic Institutions", ''International Organization'' Vol. 41, pp. 203–24 [[Carles Boix]] (1999) "Setting the Rules of the Game: The Choice of Electoral Systems in Advanced Democracies", ''American Political Science Review'' Vol. 93 (3), pp. 609–24 Haven't looked for these online but might be interesting if we could get access. the periodical "Electoral Studies" might be very interesting.

It is said that it is available online but I haven't found a way to access its pages.
