`'Dieter Nohlen is one of the most distinguished scholars in the study of electoral systems and electoral law. He and his collaborators also have done more than anyone else in collecting electoral data - a far from easy task - and this new collection for Asia and the Pacific will be an indispensable source book for scholars.' ' Juan Linz `'These election volumes are a precious, indispensable source of information for cross-national political research, on Asia-Pacific and world-wide. There is no comparable work on the subject.'' Giovanni Sartori `'Elections in Asia and the Pacific represents a major work of reference and analysis that will be invaluable for specialist and generalist alike. Those with expertise in specific regions will be impressed with the way in which each chapter explains the historical, political and legal contexts within which elections take place and at the range of data provided. In particular the country studies offer not just a simple break down of national election results, but a regional analysis which, even in those countries where elections are constrained, can offer a good indication of differential levels of support for the regime. For those who wish to take their studies further the bibliographies provide exceptionally good guidance to both official primary sources and to secondary analyses of the subject. A book no student of elections can afford to be without.' ' Dr John Anderson, Department of International Relations, University of St Andrews, Scotland
