    Summary: This book takes a fresh look at direct democracy by exploring how political actors run direct-democratic clmpaigns. It is the first study of comparative direct-democratic clmpaigning and examines eight clmpaigns on four salient policy domains: immigration, health politics, welfare state issues, and economic liberalism centring on the world's champion par excellence of direct-democracy, Switzerland. Bernhard derives much of his analysis through interviews conducted with clmpaign managers providing first-hand accounts that offer unprecedented access into the organisation and strategy behind direct-democratic clmpaigns. Campaign Strategy in Direct Democracy is essential reading for students and scholars of political communication and political science.
