Abstract
Ever since the introduction of elements of direct democracy into constitutional reality, there has always been a tension between it and parliamentary democracy. This book explores the topic of direct democracy, in particular the issue of financial proviso in plebiscitary legislation (Finanzvorbehalt in der Volksgesetzgebung). Financial proviso has been described as a German tradition, yet its applicative scope was controversial even in the Weimar period, which, in spite of various interpretative criteria, it remains up to today. Combining the perspectives of legal dogmatics, comparative law, legal history and legal policy, this work hopes to reach a practical concordance in order to contribute to the development of direct democracy in Germany as well as in Taiwan. The book is particularly suitable for readers who are interested in constitutional law and comparative law, but will also be useful to political scientists.
