| Summary: | "In referendums on fundamental constitutional issues, do the people come together to make decisions instead of representatives? This book argues no. It offers an alternative theory of referendums whereby they are one of many ordinary ways that voters give direction to their representatives. In this way, the book argues that referendums are better understood as exercises in representative democracy. Challenging the current treatment of referendums in processes of constitutional change both in the United Kingdom and around the world, the book strengthens the case for referendums by showing how they can support, rather than undermine, institutions of representative democracy"-- Sitio web de editor. |
