Abstract
After having highlighted the general direct-democratic context as well as the four policy-related settings in the previous section, I shall now provide an overview of the eight selected campaigns. After a brief description of the propositions’ origins, I will consider the specific pre-structuring of the choices by focusing on the preceding issue-specific debates and decisions in the government and in parliament. Subsequently, I will address the actors’ configuration which materializes in the formation of two opposing coalitions. I will then review the major events of the public campaigns. Finally, I will turn to the outcomes and the citizens’ opinion formation patterns.
