Electoral Geography, the analysis of spatial patterns of voting, is undergoing a renaissance with new methodological advances, theoretical shifts and changes in the political landscape. Integrating new conceptual approaches with a broad array of case studies from the USA, Europe and Asia, this volume examines key questions in electoral geography: How has electoral geography changed since the 1980s when the last wave of works in this sub discipline appeared? In what ways does contemporary scholarship in social theory inform the analysis of elections and their spatial patterns? How has electoral geography been reconfigured by social and technological changes and those that shape the voting process itself? How can the comparative analysis of elections inform the field? In addressing these issues, the volume moves electoral geography beyond its traditional, empiricist focus on the United States to engage with contemporary theoretical developments and to outline the myriad theoretical, conceptual and methodological perspectives and applications that together are ushering in electoral geography's revitalization. The result is a broader, comparative analysis of how elections reflect and in turn shape social and spatial relations.

The essays in this collection show how electoral geography has shifted from empiricist activity towards a closer involvement with the wider issues addressed by social scientists. They illustrate the potential contributions that electoral geographers can make towards the understanding of global, national and local societies.

Within an international framework, this work provides a fully comprehensive approach to the geographical coverage of elections. Numerous applications of ideas and concepts from human geography are incorporated into a new political context, illustrating the manner in which electoral patterns reflect and help produce the overall geography of a region or state. Discussions of various topics are well supported by numerous maps and diagrams which help clarify arguments and serve to define elections within their basic geographical context.

Electoral geography is an emerging field of research which has sprouted as a subfield of political geography. This book unravels potential areas for research in this field in India, explaining the meaning and evolution of electoral geography and presenting a succinct summary of various approaches being adopted by different scholars. It provides guidance on how to carry out research in electoral geography through 'areal-ecological approach.' Major socio-economic determinants in the Indian federal polity are also identified on the basis of a case study pertaining to the north east Rajasthan in terms of Lok Sabha elections in 1991 and 1998, as well as the Assembly elections in 1993 and 1998. The book identifies spatial patterns of electoral support for the Indian National Congress and the Bhartiya Janta Party, as well as the broad nature of socio-economic base of each party.

Electoral geography is the study of the spatial dimension of the electoral process. It examines the factors and patterns underlying the long-standing ideological and political splits in society and their territorial differences, as well as the political activity of voters and their voting habits by administrative and territorial unit, constituency and district. The present work conceptualizes and operationalizes the phenomenon of geographic favouritism and spatial disproportionality of electoral and party systems. We use spatial statistical analysis and geoinformation modelling to develop algorithms for assessing the role of space in the electoral behaviour of citizens. This monograph is aimed at researchers in the field of political science, electoral sociology and election law, as well as at political consultants. It can be used as a teaching aid in a specialized university course on electoral geography.
