Abstract
Extensive research has shown how political parties use referendums to achieve their goals. Most studies use either a policy-oriented or an institutional based approach to explain parties’ actions. In spite of much empirical evidence, to date the analytical dimensions were not put together to facilitate the study of referendum instrumentalization across countries. This article makes a first step in that direction and proposes a typology that distinguishes between the goals and types of action of political parties. The theoretical reasoning behind such a typology is then backed by empirical evidence from five East European countries included in the special issue to this journal.
