It addresses a range of perennial theoretical and legal questions that face policy-makers when they offer citizens the chance to take or influence decisions by referendum, not least whether to accept the 'will of the people'. Taking a multi-disciplinary approach, drawing on historical, philosophical and political science perspectives, the book includes a contextual section on the history of referendums, the theoretical questions underpinning their use, and on constitutional and legal questions about the use of referendums. The empirical sections are divided into those referendums that focus on domestic issues, such as constitutional matters or questions of social policy, and those related to the European Union, including membership referendums and treaty ratification. Julie Smith is Reader in European Politics in the Department of Politics and International Studies at the University of Cambridge, UK, and a Fellow in Politics at Robinson College. 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aComparative government 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aExecutive power 606 $aPublic Policy 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aComparative Politics 606 $aGovernance and Government 606 $aExecutive Politics 606 $aPolitical Science 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aComparative government. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aExecutive power. 615 14$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aComparative Politics. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 615 24$aExecutive Politics. 615 24$aPolitical Science. 676 $a328.2094 676 $a328.2094 702 $aSmith$b Julie$f1969- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483603103321 996 $aThe palgrave handbook of european referendums$91896797 997 $aUNINA
