Název v původním jazyce

Direct democracy in Czechia: from the shadows to the limelight

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Czechia has limited experience of direct democracy. While petitions are in use and referendums can be organised at the local and regional level, Czech citizens cannot vote in nationwide referendums and have no other direct democracy tools at their disposal. Calls for the wider use of direct democracy have multiplied, however, especially in the past five years. Direct democracy is promoted by challenger parties to gain electoral advantage and achieve political goals thought to be unachievable via representative democracy (namely ‘Czech-out’ – a Czech exit from the EU) rather than as a means to improve the quality of democracy and increase citizens’ involvement. The chapter was produced within Towards a Citizens’ Union project, which is being realized within the European Commission’s Erasmus+ Jean Monnet 2017 Programme.
