Referendum Democracy: Citizens, Elites and Deliberation in Referendum Campaigns de M. Mendelsohn

Referendum Democracy: Citizens, Elites and Deliberation in Referendum Campaigns

Editat de M. Mendelsohn, A. Parkin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2001
As the referendum becomes a more regular component of decision making, it leaves few, if any, institutions, processes and values of democracy untouched. Political actors of all kinds - including political parties and interest groups - seek to use the referendum device to further their own objectives. The end result is a different kind of democracy than existed before. This book lays out the comparative research agenda on the impact of referendums on the practice of liberal democracy.
