Although referendums have been used for centuries to settle
ethnonational conflicts, there had yet been no systematic study or
generalized theory concerning their effectiveness until Matt
Qvortrup's Referendums and Ethnic Conflict. Qvortrup's study filled
the gap with a comparative and empirical analysis of all the
referendums held on ethnic and national issues from the French
Revolution to the 2012 referendum on statehood for Puerto Rico.
Drawing on political theory and descriptive case studies, the
scholar created typologies of referendums that are held to endorse
secession, redraw disputed borders, legitimize a policy of
homogenization, or otherwise manage ethnic or national differences.
He considered the circumstances that compel politicians to resort
to direct democracy, such as regime change, and the conditions that
might exacerbate a violent response. Qvortrup offers a clear-eyed
assessment of the problems raised when conflict resolution is
sought through referendum as well as the conditions that are likely
to lead to peaceful outcomes. This updated and revised edition
includes a new introduction bringing the general field to the
present, as well as new specific sections on Scotland (2014),
Catalonia (2017), and the Brexit vote in the United Kingdom (2016).
The original work's political framework now also covers the
literature on identity politics, online campaigning, the regulation
of social media, and how referendums are used increasingly as
populist devices. This edition also updates referendum results
through the end of 2020.
