摘要

直接民主(DD)——包括倡议和全民公决——越来越多地被世界各地的公民和政府用来制定新政策。虽然被定义为一种有利于公民的工具,但包括政党在内的政府行为体在启动和推动新政策时也经常使用DD。为了解释这一令人困惑的发展,现有的研究考察了DD的规范性设计。本文进一步解释了DD的设计是如何起源的。使用过程跟踪方法,我研究了墨西哥的案例——2014年最新的DD采用者——并说明了如何、何时以及如何使用和修改DD。我认为DD是内生的:我们无法想象它独立于产生它的政治力量之外。其他突出的例子,如乌拉圭,表明DD被采用是为了追求党的目标或塑造一个特定的政府结构。立法机关当然为大众提供了参与民主变革的选择,但他们是按照自己的意愿来做的。

Endogenous Direct Democracy: The Case of Mexico
Direct democracy (DD) – including initiatives and referendums – is increasingly used by citizens and governments to establish new policies around the world. Although framed as a tool that benefits citizens, it is also common for government actors, including parties, to utilise DD in initiating and pushing through new policies. To explain this puzzling development, existing research examines the regulative design of DD. Going a step further, this article explains how the design of DD originates. Using process tracing methodology, I examine the case of Mexico – the most recent adopter of DD in 2014 – and illustrate how, when, and how DD can be used and modified. I argue that DD is endogenous: we cannot conceive of it independently of the political forces that generated it. Other prominent cases, such as Uruguay, suggest that DD was adopted to pursue party goals or to shape a particular government structure. Legislatures certainly provide the masses the option of engaging in DD but they do so on their own terms.
