EU ENLARGEMENT AND REFERENDUMS

This book is a major contribution to both the theoretical and empirical literature on referendums, particularly in relation to European issues.

It compares a series of referendums held in nine candidate countries, eight post-communist states and Malta, between March and September 2003. In so doing we gain a deep understanding of the nature of European integration and how it interacts with domestic politics, while simultaneously providing an authoritative analysis of the referendum campaign and outcome in each of the countries concerned.

This in depth analysis provides the opportunity to test a variety of comparative propositions and the resulting models of referendum and turnout that result can be used to predict outcomes and turnout in other referendums.

This book is a special issue of the journal West European Politics.
