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.

We are witnessing a worldwide resurgence of reactionary nationalist, religious, racist, and antifeminist ideologies and movements, as well as a rapid process of global de-democratization. Nevertheless, most studies remain tied to a methodological nationalism, while comparative research is almost exclusively limited to European countries and the USA. But authoritarian transformations in the Global South and the struggles against them have not only been at least as dramatic as in the North, they also often date back longer - and have been studied and theorized by Southern scholars for many years. Twenty scholar-activists from the Global South show in their in-depth studies how national processes of authoritarian capitalism have undermined political systems on a global scale.

In the past three decades, radical right parties had the opportunity to directly influence political developments from the highest public office in many post-communist Central and Eastern European countries. Oliver Kossack provides the first comprehensive study on government formation with radical right parties in these countries. Even after the turn of the millennium, some distinct features of the post-communist context persist, such as coalitions between radical right and centre-left parties. In addition to original empirical insights, the time-sensitive approach of this study also advances the discussion about concepts and methodological approaches within the discipline.
