This book explores the recent trend of enhancing the role of the
people in constitutional change. It traces the reasons underlying
this tendency, the new ways in which it takes form, the
possibilities of success and failure of such ventures as well as
the risks and benefits it carries. To do so, it examines the
theoretical aspects of public participation in constitutional
decision-making, offers an analysis of the benefits gained and the
problems encountered in countries with long-standing experience in
the practice of constitutional referendums, discusses the recent
innovative constitution-making processes employed in Iceland and
Ireland in the post financial crisis context and probes the use of
public participation in the EU context. New modes of deliberation
are juxtaposed to traditional direct-democratic processes, while
the reasons behind this re-emergence of public involvement
narratives are discussed from the aspect of comparative
constitutional design. The synthetic chapter offers an overview of
the emerging normative and comparative issues and provides a
holistic approach of the role of the people in constitutional
change in an attempt to answer when, where and how this role may be
successfully enhanced. The work consists of material specifically
written for this volume, and authored by prominent constitutional
scholars and experts in public participation and deliberative
processes.
