Direct Democracy in Europe: A Comprehensive Reference Guide to the Initiative and Referendum Process in Europe - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Intending their work as a companion to the Initiative and Referendum Almanac (focusing on the United States), the editors (co-founders of the Initiative & Referendum Institute Europe, a research and educational institute) offer this work as a comprehensive overview of the direct democratic processes of initiative and referendum in Europe. They provide a comparative evaluation of the practice of direct democracy in 32 European states and a survey of current efforts to expand the practice before presenting a country-by-country overview. They also present an analytical assessment of the design of structures and processes of direct democracy, a look at polling data on European attitudes towards initiatives and referendums, and a discussion of the future of the European Citizen Initiative.
