CONSTITUTIONAL INTERPRETATIONS OF DIRECT DEMOCRACY IN CROATIA

Abstract

As it is the case with legal systems in general, institutions of constitutional law also develop as the time goes by. It is only through their application in real life circumstances that they begin to reveal their true meaning and impact on political, social, economic or cultural environment. At the same time, scientific evaluation of any institution could become comprehensive only when it might focus on a sample that is appropriate for research. And this requires not only some relevant period of time which could be examined, but also some actual examples possible to be put in various comparisons.
