The use of referendums around
the world has grown remarkably in the past thirty years and, in particular,
referendums are today deployed more than ever in the settlement of
constitutional questions, even in countries with little or no tradition of
direct democracy. This is the first book by a constitutional theorist to address
the implications of this development for constitutional democracy in a
globalizing age, when many of the older certainties surrounding sovereignty and
constitutional authority are coming under scrutiny.
The book identifies four substantive constitutional processes
where the referendum is regularly used today: the founding of new states; the
creation or amendment of constitutions; the establishment of complex new models
of sub-state autonomy, particularly in multinational states; and the transfer of
sovereign powers from European states to the European Union. The book, as a
study in constitutional theory, addresses the challenges this phenomenon poses
not only for particular constitutional orders, which are typically structured
around a representative model of democracy, but for constitutional theory more
broadly.
