Law, Democracy and the European Court of Human Rights examines the
political rights jurisprudence of the European Court of Human
Rights. It discusses how the Court supports a liberal
representative and substantive model of democracy, and outlines the
potential for the Court to interpret the Convention so as to
support more deliberative, participatory and inclusive democratic
practices. The book commences with an overview of different
theories of democracy and then discusses the origins of the Council
of Europe and the Convention and presents the basic principles on
the interpretation and application of the Convention. Subsequent
chapters explore issues around free expression, free assembly and
association, the scope of the electoral rights, the right to vote,
the right to run for election and issues about electoral systems.
Issues discussed include rights relating to referendums, voting
rights for prisoners and non-nationals, trade union rights and
freedom of information.
