... At the core of this literature is a focus on mapping electoral systems and political party designs. These studies examine how such designs affect minority representation in states across a range of geographic areas, from Central and Eastern Europe (Shvetsova 1999;Friedman 2005;Bochsler 2010), to Asia (Chandra 2004;Raina 2014), to Africa (Posner 2005;Bogaards 2007), to South America (Van Cott 2005, to North America and Western Europe (Swain 1993;Saggar 2000;Bird 2005;Bloemraad & Schönwälder 2013). There are also a relatively smaller number of crossnational studies, which have sought to clarify the logic and forms of special representative mechanisms employed in practice (Reynolds 2005(Reynolds , 2006, examined the features of regional tendencies and patterns (Szekely & Horvath 2014;Htun 2016) and categorised models at a global scale with a view to understanding their drivers and consequences for minority presence in national legislatures (Htun 2004;Meier 2009;Ruedin 2009;Krook & O'Brien 2010;Lublin & Wright 2013;Bird 2014). ...
