This important and timely book provides an in-depth analysis of the limits imposed on referendums and citizens' initiatives, as well as of systems of reviewing compliance with these limits, in 11 European states. Chapters explore and lay the scientific basis for answering crucial questions such as 'Where should the legal limits of direct democracy be drawn?' and 'Who should review compliance with these limits?' Providing a comparative analysis of the different issues in the selected countries, the book draws out key similarities and differences, as well as an assessment of the law and the practice at national levels when judged against the international standards contained in the Venice Commission's Guidelines on the Holding of Referendums. Presenting an up-to-date analysis of the relationship between popular sovereignty and the rule of law, The Legal Limits of Direct Democracy will be a key resource for scholars and students in comparative and constitutional law and political science. It will also be beneficial to policy-makers and practitioners in parliaments, governments and election commissions, and experts working for international organisations"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aReferendum$zEurope 606 $aConstitutional law$zEurope 606 $aDirect democracy$zEurope 607 $aEurope$2fast 610 $adirect democracy 610 $areferendum 610 $acitizens' initiative 610 $alegal limits 610 $aeurope 610 $arule of law 615 0$aReferendum 615 0$aConstitutional law 615 0$aDirect democracy 676 $a328.2094 700 $aMoeckli$b Daniel$4edt$0509365 702 $aIbi$b Henri 702 $aMoeckli$b Daniel 702 $aForga?cs$b Anna 712 02$aEdward Elgar Publishing, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557278603321 996 $aThe legal limits of direct democracy$93402510 997 $aUNINA
