The book identifies the impact of misinformation in the context of
referenda. While the notion of misinformation is at the centre of
current events and is the subject of several studies, it has rarely
been addressed in the context of referenda or from a
multidisciplinary and comparative perspective. This book fills this
gap. Different legal orders have been chosen because of their
extensive referendum practices (California and Switzerland); a
recent legislative process on the issue of misinformation (Germany,
France, and Canada); or recent experience with a vote during which
it was considered that false information had been disseminated
(Brexit, Catalan independence, and Italian constitutional
referendum of 2016). By bringing together authors from the
political and legal sciences, the book focuses on combining the
expertise of researchers from different backgrounds and origins in
order to propose innovative solutions. In this regard, the book is
characterized by the fact that it does not aim to combat
misinformation per se, but develops suggestions meant to guarantee
the conditions of formation of the political will during referenda.
The book will be an invaluable resource for legal scholars,
political scientists, and specialists of political communication.
Outside the world of academia, the book may draw the attention of
policy-makers, practitioners, and journalists confronted with the
challenges of misinformation or disinformation.
