Rezensionen
"Funktioniert direkte Demokratie nur in kleineren, konsensbasierten Systemen? Ändert ein schrittweises Abgehen von der repräsentativen Demokratie die Beziehung zwischen politischer Elite und Wählerschaft? Wie stellt sich partizipative Demokratie in der Europäischen Union dar? Die Beiträge dieses Sammelbandes beantworten dies durch umfangreiches empirisches Material in zahlreichen Tabellen; und wo sie das nicht leisten können, geben sie zumindest gewichtige Gedankenanregungen." www.zpol.de (Zeitschrift für Politikwissenschaft), 28.03.2008
