This volume analyses how the use of referendums affects the central
functions and characteristics of representative democracy. It
provides a balanced account of the interaction between referendums
and representative institutions and actors, seeking to evaluate
whether referendums supplement or undermine representative
democracy. Considering both normative and empirical questions, the
volume also examines the particular circumstances under which
referendums strengthen or weaken representative democracy.
Providing a variety of theoretical and methodological approaches
used in the study of referendums, this book is divided into three
sections: Referendums and the Models of Democracy, The Demand of
Referendums: Party Ideologies and Strategies, and Referendum
Campaigns and Voter Behaviour. It features case studies on Ireland,
Israel, Canada, California, Italy, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, the
Nordic Countries, the Netherlands, Spain and the EU Constitutional
Treaty. In addition to system-level evaluations of referendums,
studies on the ideological attitudes of political actors and
strategic use of referendums, the volume also provides analyses of
referendum campaigns and voters' choices in referendums. Covering
referendums on European integration, the volume also demonstrates
how supra-national governance gives rise to the demand of
referendums. This volume will be of interest to students and
scholars of political science, political theory, comparative
politics, and European studies.
