Dibujando fronteras: igualdad de la ley electoral y sus consecuencias democráticas

Abstract

This chapter delineates three conceptions of fairness in election law using the example of electoral boundary drawing. A tradition of 'positive' fairness in Australia and Canada - though recently challenged - is shown to be more democratically representative and coherent than 'negative' and 'perfectionist' conceptions dominant in the American election law setting.
