Reviews
"A volume on How Referendums Challenge European Democracy is to be welcomed. Direct democracy has come to play an increasingly important role in the dynamic of European integration, including the dramatic departure of a member state, the UK. This volume is a must-read on referendums and the structural limits of EU democracy." (Brigid Laffan, Director, Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, European University Institute, Italy)
"Taking as their starting point the observation that every national government is part of a network of political and economic interdependencies, Richard Rose and his colleagues bring together the study of democratic elections, the institutions of the European Union and the politics of Brexit. The analysis is consistently insightful and the references remarkably topical. To understand how political legitimacy is fragile in bounded democracies, this is an invaluable book." (Albert Weale, Emeritus Professor of Political Theory and Public Policy, University College London, UK)
