This book provides a comprehensive summary and analysis of all the
nationwide referendums since 1793. Referendums are ubiquitous and
they are increasingly becoming vehicles for political change - or
sometimes vehicles of conservatism. In 2016, for example, the
voters in the United Kingdom caused a major upheaval when they
voted for leaving the European Union. Later in the same year, a
majority of the voters in Colombia rejected a peace plan carefully
negotiated by the political elites to end decades of civil war.
Were these decisions prudent? Why were these issues submitted to
referendums? Why did the majority of voters vote against the
governments' recommendations? Have 'the people' had grown tired of
the old political class? Was this a new tendency? These are some of
the questions addressed in this new edition, which will be
compulsory reading for anyone interested in or concerned about
populism and democracy.
