DETAILS

 14:00 - 15:30 CEST / Track 1:  Swiss Direct Democracy in Practice

Switzerland has developed one of the world's most vibrant and robust participatory and direct democracies. On September 27, the eligible citizens of the Alpine Republic will decide on important issues regarding Europe, security, hunting, parental leave and child care.

Together with Bern University political scientist Giada Gianola, we kick off the Online Global Forum with a briefing on key aspects of modern direct democracy in Switzerland including the tools of initiative and referendum available and how often they are used, the mayor issues subject to direct democratic agenda-setting and decision-making including the main stakeholders in campaigns and how the pandemic is influencing this very public way of political involvement ahead of the September 27 voting day.
