Direct Democracy and Minority Rights

- A Critical Assessment of the Tyranny of the Majority in the American States

Om Direct Democracy and Minority Rights

This book conclusively demonstrates that direct democracy¿institutions like the ballot initiative and the referendum¿endangers the rights of minorities and perpetuates a tyranny of the majority. While advocates of direct democracy advocate that these institutions protect citizens from corrupt lawmakers beholden to special interests, Daniel Lewis¿s thorough investigation shows how such mass participation exposes minority groups to negative policy outcomes favored by only a slim majority of voters. The book is unique in its approach and scope, making it compelling for scholars interested in direct democracy, state politics, minority politics and electoral institutions, as well as American politics generally.
