The parliamentary system and direct democracy

Peter Graf Kielmansegg

European Review, 1998, vol. 6, issue 1, 75-80

Abstract: This paper considers the operation of representative democracy, with an emphasis on Germany. It analyses the implications of direct democracy (i.e. the regular use of referenda in reaching decisions on matters of public policy) for the operation of parliamentary and non-parliamentary democratic systems. The existing role of direct democracy in a number of societies is also considered.
