The biggest contemporary challenge to democratic legitimacy
gravitates around the crisis of democratic representation. To
tackle this problem, a growing number of established and new
democracies included direct democratic instruments in their
constitutions, enabling citizens to have direct influence on
democratic decision-making. However, there are many different
empirical manifestations of direct democracy, and their diverse
consequences for representative democracy remain an understudied
topic. Let the People Rule? aims to fill this gap, analysing the
multifaceted consequences of direct democracy on constitutional
reforms and issues of independence, democratic accountability
mechanisms, and political outcomes. Chapters apply different
methodological approaches to study the consequences of direct
democracy on democratic legitimacy. These range from single
in-depth case studies, like the Scottish independence referendum in
2014, to cross-national comparative studies, such as the direct
democratic experience within the European Union.
