The system functions of direct democracy - a ranking of 103 countries in the world
We introduce a new framework of the functions of direct democracy within a democratic political system. These are: (1) channeling political input into the decision-making arenas by circumventing organized interests (input function), (2) channeling political issues out of the representative decision-making system (exit function), and (3) producing decisions about political questions (decision function). Based on the analysis of 277 instruments of …
Patterns of Party Positioning in Referendums in Switzerland
Parties play an important role in the study of direct democracy, but mainly as independent variables. To start investigating the way in which parties position themselves in referendums, a new framework is presented and tested for plausibility. As case study the complex but well observed case of Swiss Direct Democracy was chosen. First, a differentiated understanding of what a party position in a referendum process is leads to the identification o…
Airport Expansions and Public Protests—The Democratic Dilemma of Vertically Asymmetric Policies
The concept of Vertically Asymmetric Policies ( VAP s) offers a new explanation specified for the emergence and persistence of public protests against major infrastructure projects. In VAP s, the benefits, costs, and political competences are distributed asymmetrically among the different levels of the political system. The gap of those units (negatively) affected and those units involved in deciding, causes a democratic dilemma and likely public…

The Genetic Origin of the CDU and its Developmental Path to a Catch-All Party
This article identifies the impact of the ‘genetic’ origin of the CDU on its transformation into a catch-all party and tests the hypothesis of a convergence of paths towards the catch-all party. Was there a path specific for the Christian Democratic Party strand in Western Europe, which has been so far neglected by party theory? By applying a periodisation, the initial status of the CDU after its foundation, the development of this initial path a…
