| Description: |
Critics of referendums often lament that big money may buy success at the ballot box. But spending by interest groups may also be informative for citizens. This can only happen, however, if the financing of referendum campaigns is regulated. This book offers an overview of these regulations and presents research on their effects. |
| Synopsis: |
Financing Referendum Campaigns asks the question: To what extent do voters really make a direct decision when voting in a referendum? The very phrase 'direct democracy' implies that rather than going through representative structures, voters can influence political outcomes directly if they have the chance to vote in a referendum. Contributors to this volume explore the influence of money and other resources on referendum campaigns and their results. Covering a range of countries in Europe and North America, they outline the spending regulations in force and begin to explore the effects these have on referendum outcomes. |
