Beschreibung
Does direct democracy result in a Tyranny of the Majority for Oppressed Groups? This first analysis of over 500 referenda shows that on the contrary, Oppressed Groups were often able to benefit from direct democracy. However, the interests of LGBTQ+ groups, groups of low socioeconomic status, and foreign nationals are under pressure. To protect them, the book develops ways to design direct democratic votes that support Oppressed Groups.
