Challenging the common assumption that models of direct democracy and representative democracy are necessarily at odds, Direct Democracy Worldwide demonstrates how practices of direct and representative democracy interact under different institutional settings and uncovers the conditions that allow them to coexist in a mutually reinforcing manner. Whereas citizen-initiated mechanisms of direct democracy can spur productive relationships between citizens and political parties, other mechanisms of direct democracy often help leaders bypass other representative institutions, undermining republican checks and balances. The book also demonstrates that the embrace of direct democracy is costly, may generate uncertainties and inconsistencies, and can be manipulated. Nonetheless, the promise of direct democracy should not be dismissed. Direct democracy is much more than a simple, pragmatic second choice when representative democracy seems not to be working as expected. Properly designed, it can empower citizens, breaking through some of the institutionalized barriers to accountability that arise in representative systems.

Standing out from all other books on direct democracy, Citizenship and Contemporary Direct Democracy connects the study of direct democracy to the broader field of comparative democratization and to an important strand in normative democratic theory. Analyzing the relationship between direct democracy and representative government, this book is organized around three main sections: the origins of contemporary direct democracy, its functioning, and the ways to improve the use of direct democracy and its abuse. David Altman argues that citizen-initiated mechanisms of direct democracy constitute an important and viable way to re-invigorate current representative regimes by strengthening democracies' normative foundations - freedom and equity among citizens - which are particularly fragile in the context of unequal societies. Citizenship and Contemporary Direct Democracy demonstrates how citizen-initiated mechanisms of direct democracy empowers citizens, channels social demands, defuses violence, re-enchants citizens with politics, and breaks through some of the institutionalized barriers to accountability that arise in representative systems.

Oxford professor Joseph Giant doesnt believe in being politically correct when something is wrong. In Giants opinion, the outspoken Muslim community is threatening to take over every facet of British life. Regardless of political correctness, Giant sees it as a threat that church bells are no longer allowed on Sunday and that the day of rest has been moved to Fridayall to keep a small but powerful minority happy. Beth Rimmer is an attractive student activist who opposes Giants unpopular opinionsthat is, until they meet face-to-face. Giant makes a good point for his Muslim cultural concerns, and soon Rimmer is not only Giants advocate but his outspoken supporter. Her surprising change of heart soon gets her murdered, and so begins a conspiracy to discredit Giant and his fight for British freedom. As Great Britain is slowly transformed into what resembles a Muslim nation, the mystery of Rimmers death goes unsolved. Who is stacking the deck against Professor Giant and the British people? The directive appears to come from a power much greater than the Oxford activists are ready to fight. But will the country realize the accuracy of Giants claims in time to regain their rights and save Britain from cultural anarchy?

Presentada como la solución definitiva ante el déficit de participación ciudadana o como medio para que las decisiones políticas más delicadas cuenten con suficiente legitimidad, la democracia directa ocupa cada vez más espacios en las sociedades de hoy. Los mecanismos de esta singular forma de democracia –plebiscitos, referéndums, iniciativas populares, ejercicios de revocación de mandato, promovidos desde las alturas gubernamentales o surgidos desde abajo mediante la recolección de firmas de la ciudadanía– se han empleado en países tan dispares como Suiza, Estados Unidos o Uruguay, ya para cambiar el statu quo o para preservarlo, ya para introducir cambios legislativos y constitucionales o para impedirlos.En Ciudadanía en expansión David Altman realiza un estudio sin precedentes de las formas, los alcances, los riesgos y las razones de ser de estos dispositivos electorales a lo largo del último siglo, analizando con rigor estadístico cientos de casos en una gran variedad de regiones y circunstancias. Como queda claro en esta obra, lejos de aspirar a reemplazar los actuales sistemas de representación, la democracia directa, cuando es iniciada desde abajo, es una vía para fortalecer los cimientos normativos democráticos y para preservar la libertad y la equidad ciudadanas, particularmente frágiles en sociedades desiguales. El autor combina el conocimiento teórico con una gran habilidad descriptiva y analítica, y presenta de forma exhaustiva las propiedades correctivas y el potencial cívico de los mecanismos de la democracia directa, verdadera llave maestra para contar con una ciudadanía en expansión.
