Beschreibung:
SHAUN BOWLER is Assistant Professor of Political Science at UC-Riverside, USA.
In this volume a series of contributions look at the impact of direct democracy on those processes of representative democracy to raise - and answer - the question: Does direct democracy harm representative democracy?
1) CONTRIBUTORS: The book will include chapters by some of the nationâ¿¿s leading experts on direct democracy. 2) FILLS GAP: As per the reviewer, â¿¿There is relatively little study of how the use of initiatives affects voters, groups, political parties, legislatures, executives or the judiciary. This project proposes to addresses some of these deficits in the literature.â¿¿
