N1  - Analyzes the design of electoral systems for divided societies, by examining various divided societies which use vote-pooling electoral systems with the case studies in New Guinea, Sri Lanka, Northern Ireland and Fiji.|Shows that political institutions which encourage the development of broad-based, aggregative political parties and where campaigning politicians have incentives to attract votes from a range of ethnic groups can, under certain conditions, encourage a moderate, accommodator's political competition and thus influence the route of democratization in transitional states
