Books-author: Science of Politics. An Introduction. New York: Oxford University Press, 2010. - In Spanish: Ciencia de la política. Una introducción. Barcelona: Ariel, 2009. "I don't think anyone tried to write something like this before. If one wanted to give an overview of political science then this would be about the only book there is!, James A. Robinson, Harvard University. Great Empires, Small Nations. The Uncertain Future of the Sovereign State. Routledge, 2007. - In Spanish: Grandes imperios, pequenas naciones. Anagrama, 2006. - In Catalan: Grans imperis, petites nacions. Proa, 2006. ‘Colomer's book is a stimulating read, certainly for anyone willing to entertain nonconventional observations that hold up well in what is happening in the world. I expect this book to be widely read and greatly admired’, Sidney Weintraub, Center for Strategic and International Studies, Washington DC. ‘Great Empires, Small Nations is an original and persuasive book. Colomer looks beyond nation states and discovers the world that does not resemble the Westphalian paradigm. The book makes an important contribution to our understanding of international politics, especially in Europe’, Jan Zielonka, University of Oxford. ‘This book strengthens intellectually what the practice shows: that the small nations not only are viable as identity, society and economy, but can attain

excellent performance. This is in the provision that they do not confine on themselves, but rather participate in great political and economic spaces’, Jordi Pujol, President of Catalonia (1980-2003), President of the Assembly of European Regions (1992-6). Foundation Ramon Trias Fargas Award for Essays. Catalan Academy (IEC): Prat de la Riba Award to the best book in Philosophy and Social Sciences from 2002 to 2006. Shortlisted (3 out of 55) for the first European Book Prize, European Parliament, 2007. Como votamos. Los sistemas electorales del mundo: pasado, presente y futuro. Barcelona-Buenos Aires: Gedisa (abridged version of Handbook of Electoral System Choice), 2004. Political Institutions: Democracy and Social Choice. Oxford University Press, 2001; 2nd edition in paperback, 2003; 3rd edition, 2006.. Also at: Oxford Scholarship Online. - In Spanish: Instituciones politicas. Barcelona: Ariel, 2001. - New revised edition. Barcelona: Ariel, 2007. - ‘An outstanding contribution to the growing literature challenging the conventional wisdom that majoritarian, concentrated-power democracy provides the most ‘decisive’ and effective government. Instead, as Colomer’s logical and empirical analysis convincingly demonstrates, sharing power and dividing power are much more advantageous. A first-rate scholarly achievement!’, Arend Lijphart, University of California-San Diego. - ‘A rigorous, accessible analysis of social choice in democratic settings. Its empirical scope is broad, its emphasis on institutions is crisp, and its arguments are persuasive. It graces Oxford new series on comparative politics’, Kenneth Shepsle, Harvard University. - ‘A happy marriage of social choice theory with comparative politics, well worth reading, and including on syllabi…. One strength is the author’s knack for supplying historical material that illustrates the relevance of social choice theory to the study of political institutions. In this sense, Colomer’s book follows in the tradition of William H. Riker’s Liberalism Against Populism (1982), although Political Institutions is empirically richer, and much more accessible to a nontechnical audience. Colomer does… with such a keen sense for how the basic intuitions from social choice theory map onto real-world politics, that Political Institutions should become a staple of reading lists on positive political theory and comparative politics’, John M. Carey, Washington Univ., St. Louis, Perspectives on Politics. - ‘It should attract a broad readership from different fields within political science… easily intelligible and thoroughly pleasant read’, Hendrik J. Kravetzschmar, London School of Economics & Political Science, Political Studies Review. - ‘A well framed, well constructed, well documented and well argued book’, Gianfanco Pasquino, University of Bologna, Rivista Italiana di Scienza Politica. - ‘Compulsory reading for every professional of the social sciences, of political activity or public sphere and of decision-making in any field of economic and social life’, Alvaro Espina, University Complutense of Madrid, Revista Espanola de Ciencia Política.

- ‘The author’s erudition, along with his masterful application of social choice theory, make this book compulsory reading for students of comparative politics and constitutional law’, Fabrice Lehoucq, CIDE, Mexico, Politica y Gobierno. Recommended by ‘Political Studies’, journal of the UK’s Political Studies Association among the best in 2001, “for its important contribution to the development of General Political Science”. Awarded the Prize to the best book 2000-2001 by the Spanish Political Science Association. Strategic Transitions: Game Theory and Democratization. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 2000. - In Spanish: Transiciones estrategicas: Democratizacion y teoria de juegos. Madrid: Centre for Political and Constitutional Studies, 2001. - ‘Colomer has exemplary knowledge of the political dynamics of democratization in the contemporary world and an equally subtle sense of how best to specify those processes in game theoretical models’, David Laitin, Stanford University. - ‘A very convincing interpretation of the events leading to the collapse of the Soviet Union and democratization in Eastern Europe’, Leonard Wantchekon, New York University. - ‘Colomer's analysis is erudite, stimulating and well informed… Colomer has succeeded in writing a supremely readable volume, which should attract the interest of everyone interested in democratic transitions’, Mads Qvortrup, Political Studies Review. - ‘A very thorough analysis in a clear and systematic way. The author’s concern with clarity and simplicity is of unique value and he combines formal analysis with interesting substantial theory’, Stein Larsen, University of Bergen, Norway, Europe-Asia Studies. - A full book devoted to discuss ‘the seminal work of Adam Przeworski and Josep Colomer who lead the field in the analysis of regime change and transition’, Jacqueline Hayden, The Collapse of Communist Power in Poland, Routledge, 2006. Recommended by ‘Political Studies’, journal of the UK’s Political Studies Association among the best books in General Political Science in 2000. Game Theory and the Transition to Democracy: The Spanish Model. Aldershot: Edward Elgar, 1995. - In Spanish: La transicion a la democracia: el modelo espanol. Barcelona: Anagrama, 1998. - ‘One of the few original contributions to the literature on transitions to democracy, Colomer's book applies analytical models to reveal the complexity of transition in Spain. His analysis will be of interest to observers of democratization everywhere’, Adam Przeworski, New York University. - ‘One of the best books of Political Science on transitions’, Juan J. Linz, Yale University. - ‘This could become a Political Science classic’, Iain MacLean, Oxford University. - ‘The best game theoretic treatment of transition I have seen’, Barbara Geddes, University of California-Los Angeles.

- ‘The strength of Colomer's approach is that it yields sense of the significance of microlevel details; it reveals how macroevents are generated often in ways that have not been foreseen by small, discrete decisions. It provides perhaps the most persuasive rejoinder: cultural explanations must be supplemented with accounts of the procedures by which individual choices aggregate into collective outcomes’, Robert Bates, Harvard University, American Political Science Review. La utilitat del bilingüisme Barcelona: Edicions 62, 1996. Tomas Garces Award, granted by the Government of Catalonia. El arte de la manipulacion politica: votaciones y teoria de juegos en la politica espanola (The art of political manipulation. Voting and game theory in Spanish politics) Barcelona: Anagrama, 1990. ‘Josep Maria Colomer’s analysis of the political transition to democracy has opened the trend towards… the end of the social theory predominant during the first two decades after the advent of democracy in 1975, and the beginning of a new period in Spanish social science.’ Salvador Giner, former president of the Spanish Sociology Association, president of the Catalan Academy (Institute of Catalan Studies), in Gerard Delanty (editor), Handbook of Contemporary European Social Theory, Routledge, 2005. Anagrama Award for Essays. El utilitarismo: Una teoria de la eleccion racional Barcelona: Montesinos, 1987. La ideologia de l'antifranquisme Barcelona: Edicions 62, 1985.

Books-editor: Handbook of Electoral System Choice. 29 contributors (from California-Irvine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Stanford, Virginia, New Orleans, Berne, Heildelberg, London, Oxford, Stockholm, Tartu, Uppsala, Canberra, Yokohama, Mexico, Rio de Janeiro). London and New York: Palgrave-Macmillan, 2004. - ‘Professor Colomer offers a new and highly original theory of electoral change which lays the groundwork for a radical revision of what has become the common wisdom about the effects of electoral laws’, Foreword by Bernard Grofman, University of California-Irvine. - ‘Electoral studies have long focused more on the effects than the causes of electoral rules. As Josep Colomer notes, however, the very strength of the effects leads to a natural line of theorizing about causes: parties introduce new rules in anticipation of their effects on those parties’ future electoral fortunes. Colomer’s synoptic overview shows that there is an important general trend visible in the historical record, toward greater proportionality. Every serious student of electoral systems will want this handbook on their shelf’, Gary W. Cox, University of California-San Diego. - ‘This is a major achievement and provides the foundation for much future work… Too many such books are little more than compendia of loosely-linked chapters; this is so much more because of the sustenance that the selected authors give to the editor’s theoretical apparatus and empirical test’, Ron Johnston, University of Bristol, British Journal of Political Science and International Relations. The Strategy of Institutional Change. Special Issue of the Journal of Theoretical Politics, 13, 2001. Comparative European Politics (3rd edition of the book below) Contributors: Same as below. London: Routledge, 2008. Political Institutions in Europe 2nd edition (enlarged and updated) Contributors: Ian Budge (Essex), Manfred Schmidt (Heidelberg), Yves Mény (European U.I., Florence), Gianfranco Pasquino (Bologna and Johns Hopkins), Hans Keman (Free U. Amsterdam), Jan-Erik Lane and Svante Ersson (Umea). London: Routledge, 2002. - ‘A terrifically useful update. What I appreciate especially is the comparative, theory-driven, institutions-oriented framework employed throughout, which makes the book ideal as a core text for courses in West European politics. The individual chapters are also excellent introductions for country- and region-

specific courses, as well as being a great source of basic political information’, Nicholas Aylott, Umea University, Sweden. - ‘This is a comprehensive textbook for students of comparative European politics. accessible written, well balanced, thorough, the product of up-to-date research by some of the best scholars working in the field’, Michael O'Neill, Nottingham Trent University, UK. Political Institutions in Europe. London: Routledge, 1996. - In Spanish: La politica en Europa. Barcelona: Ariel, 1995. - ‘Josep M. Colomer is one of the most brilliant, imaginative and cosmopolitan scholars in political studies’, Javier Tusell, University of Madrid, El País. - In Italian: La politica in Europa.
