Une idéologie toxique gouverne le monde : celle de la compétition et de l’individualisme. Pourtant, des découvertes récentes en psychologie, en neurosciences et en biologie de l’évolution révèlent que ces valeurs sont bien loin de celles qui incarnent véritablement notre humanité, à savoir l’altruisme et la coopération. Pour combattre cette vision néfaste du monde, reflétée par le système économique et politique néolibéral, il est urgent de la remplacer par un nouveau récit qui invite les gens à s’inscrire dans une action politique et dessine un chemin vers une société meilleure. George Monbiot montre comment nous pouvons nous appuyer sur les qualités propres à notre espèce pour imaginer et mettre en place de nouvelles politiques de l’appartenance. Cette vision de la société nous replace en tant que citoyens dans un lien à nous-mêmes, à notre communauté, à notre ville et au monde. La démocratie et l’économie peuvent être radicalement réorganisées pour nous permettre de reprendre le contrôle de nos vies et renverser les forces qui ont contrecarré l’ambition que nous avions de construire une société plus juste. Pour cela, il faut être capable de raconter une histoire différente, sous-tendue par l’empathie et l’enthousiasme, à laquelle nous pourrons nous identifier et contribuer. C’est justement par la valorisation du vivre-ensemble et du sentiment d’appartenance que nous pourrons devenir les héros de ce nouveau récit.

"With the rise of direct-democratic instruments, the relationship between popular sovereignty and the rule of law is set to become one of the defining political issues of our time. This important and timely book provides an in-depth analysis of the limits imposed on referendums and citizens' initiatives, as well as of systems of reviewing compliance with these limits, in 11 European states. Chapters explore and lay the scientific basis for answering crucial questions such as 'Where should the legal limits of direct democracy be drawn?' and 'Who should review compliance with these limits?' Providing a comparative analysis of the different issues in the selected countries, the book draws out key similarities and differences, as well as an assessment of the law and the practice at national levels when judged against the international standards contained in the Venice Commission's Guidelines on the Holding of Referendums. Presenting an up-to-date analysis of the relationship between popular sovereignty and the rule of law, The Legal Limits of Direct Democracy will be a key resource for scholars and students in comparative and constitutional law and political science. It will also be beneficial to policy-makers and practitioners in parliaments, governments and election commissions, and experts working for international organisations"--

Akklamation, Okkupation und Verantwortungsflucht - Ratsreferenden genießen als Top-down-Verfahren in der lokalen Politikforschung einen zweifelhaften Ruf. Nils Arne Brockmann unternimmt nun erstmalig eine empirisch-systematische Erforschung des direktdemokratischen Entscheidungsinstruments: Anhand vergleichender Fallstudien in vier Städten untersucht er die vielfältigen Initiierungsgründe und Akteurskonstellationen von Ratsreferenden. Er hinterfragt dabei ihre im Vergleich zu Bürgerreferenden negative Rezeption und entwickelt eine Analyseheuristik, die auch auf Top-down-Referenden anderer politischer Ebenen übertragbar ist.
