{"product_id":"the-coming-age-of-direct-mark-baldassare-9780742538719","title":"The Coming Age of Direct Democracy: California's Recall and Beyond","description":"This book examines the new, hybrid democracy that has been taking shape in California since the 2003 recall of Gov. Gray Davis and election of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Using the results of surveys with more than 150,000 Californians, the book reveals the public attitudes behind the move to supplant governance by elected representatives with an increased role for voters at the ballot box, and presents recommendations for ways to improve policymaking in a hybrid democracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Baldassare, Cheryl Katz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0742538710\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780742538719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/12\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Mark Baldassare","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46526204641535,"sku":"9780742538719","price":117.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c34198c2-d9e1-481a-a492-df7619503daa.jpg?v=1737555494","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-coming-age-of-direct-mark-baldassare-9780742538719","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
