Segmented or “Entrenched” Electoral Systems

Summary/Abstract: The author deals with the problem of segmented or “entrenched” electoral systems, which are relatively less known and rarely applied in the electoral practice of democratic states. However, in the postcommunist states of eastern Europe they have come to the forefront. Their main purpose is to combine the principles of the majority and the plurality systems and to highlight the advantages and mitigate the shortcomings of both. The main finding of the research is that there are no universal models and parliamentary party systems. Segmented systems have in some countries produced the effects of majority and in others of plurality systems. The institutional factors causing those differences cannot be positively established.
