Second Edition. 23 cm. 198 pages. Softcover. Excellent, as new condition with only minor signs of external wear. Chapters in this publication include for example: The referendum and the ideal of consensus government / A.V.Dicey's theory: the referendum as the people's veto / Do referendums stand in the way of 'salutory reform' ? / Is the Referendum a constitutional safeguard ? The minority veto and the popular referendum: two case studies / etc. Should the people be allowed to decide on difficult policy issues? This is the fundamental problem of democratic theory. A comparative study of referendums provides a starting point for anyone interested in referendums and direct democracy. Combining an account of the political history and philosophy of the referendum, with a thorough assessment of the practical experiences with referendums in western democracies, this book has established itself as the unrivalled market-leader in the field. Fully revised and with new chapters on campaign spending and the administration of referendums, the second edition of this book provides a thorough overview of the theory and practice of referendums. At a time when more and more countries are holding referendums, Professor Qvortrup's book is essential reading for political scientists, journalists and everyone interested in the fundamental issues of democracy.
