Description: Design, Meaning and Choice in Direct Democracy : The Influences of Petitioners and Voters, Hardcover by Reilly, Shauna, ISBN 1409409732, ISBN-13 9781409409731, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Utilizing a variety of methods, this work by Reilly (Northern Kentucky U.) investigates participation in direct democracy (referendums and the like) and its relationship to political comprehension. Her analysis begins with an in-depth study of initiative petitioners, motives, and strategies for ballot measure participation in the state of Oregon and how these are associated with varying levels and expectations of political knowledge among citizens. She then conducts a statistical and experimental analysis of the effect that complexity, topic, ease of issue, and other factors of ballot language have on voter participation and presents the results of an individual-level controlled experiment investigating if more politically knowledgeable people differ in their participation in direct democracy. Finally, she considers the theoretical and normative issues raised by the findings. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
