"A comprehensive account of the response of voters to the Charlottetown Accord in the context of the referendum, The Challenge of Direct Democracy is a must read for all scholars of Canadian politics, as well as those interested in democratic theory, public opinion formation, constitutional politics and referendums." Fred Fletcher, Department of Political Science and Environmental Studies, York University. "The Challenge of Direct Democracy provides insight into both the Canadian referendum experience and more general, theoretical concerns with direct democracy.
