Cherchant à analyser en profondeur les différentes structures, pratiques et conséquences de la démocratie directe aux États-Unis et plus particulièrement en Californie ainsi que dans l’Union Européenne, en Italie, en Suisse et en France, ce numéro de Siècles donne à voir des contrastes frappants. Si les juristes français font preuve d’une lecture très prudente – mais toutefois quelque peu positive – quant à la promesse potentielle que contient la démocratie directe pour permettre l’augmentation de la participation des citoyens dans le processus décisionnel en Europe, à l’opposé, les historiens californiens se répandent en avertissements contre ses dangers et conséquences négatives. Deux éléments permettent d’éclairer les distinctions tracées entre les systèmes américain et européen de démocratie directe : d’une part, le degré d’influence de l’argent dans le processus politique et, d’autre part, aux États-Unis, le rôle de la Cour Suprême des États-Unis et le phénomène du constitutionnalisme américain. |

Delving into the diverse structures, practices, and consequences of direct democracy in the United States and California and in the European Union, Italy, Switzerland, and France, this volume presents striking contrasts. French legal scholars demonstrate an exceedingly cautious, yet somewhat positive view of the potential promise of direct democracy to increase citizen involvement in decision-making in Europe, while Californian historians cry out in warning of its dangers and negative consequences. Central to the distinctions drawn between American and European systems of direct democracy is the extent to which the influence of money has intruded into the political process, as well as in the United States, the role of the U.S. Supreme Court, and the phenomenon of American constitutionalism. |
