Description
Based on extensive surveys conducted during and after the campaign, The Challenge of Direct Democracy is a comprehensive investigation of voter opinion, intention, perception, and behaviour in a referendum. The authors investigate voters'' responses to arguments for and against the Accord, examine how well informed voters were, and explore a variety of explanations to account for the negative result.
