- Summary
- "The majority of Americans live in an area that uses some form of direct democracy, but direct democracy is still largely seen as competing with, and often damaging to, the processes of representative democracy. In this volume, scholars examine the impact of direct democracy on those processes of representative democracy and raise the question: Does direct democracy harm representative democracy?"--book jacket.
