Standing out from all other books on direct democracy, Citizenship
and Contemporary Direct Democracy connects the study of direct
democracy to the broader field of comparative democratization and
to an important strand in normative democratic theory. Analyzing
the relationship between direct democracy and representative
government, this book is organized around three main sections: the
origins of contemporary direct democracy, its functioning, and the
ways to improve the use of direct democracy and its abuse. David
Altman argues that citizen-initiated mechanisms of direct democracy
constitute an important and viable way to re-invigorate current
representative regimes by strengthening democracies' normative
foundations - freedom and equity among citizens - which are
particularly fragile in the context of unequal societies.
Citizenship and Contemporary Direct Democracy demonstrates how
citizen-initiated mechanisms of direct democracy empowers citizens,
channels social demands, defuses violence, re-enchants citizens
with politics, and breaks through some of the institutionalized
barriers to accountability that arise in representative systems.
