Abstract: The mass media are assigned an important role in political campaigns on popular votes. This article asks how the press communicates political issues to citizens during referendum campaigns, and whether some minimal criteria for successful public deliberation are met. The press coverage of all 24 ballot votes on welfare state issues from 1995 to 2004 in Switzerland is examined, distinguishing seven criteria to judge how news coverage compares to idealized notions of the media's role in the democratic process: coverage intensity, time for public deliberation, balance in media coverage, source independence and inclusiveness, substantive coverage, and spatial homogeneity. The results of our quantitative analysis suggest that the press does fulfil these normative requirements to a reasonable extent and that fears about biased or deceitful media treatment of ballot issues are not well‐founded. However, some potential for optimizing the coverage of referendum campaigns by the Swiss press does exist.

Ce Cahier s'interroge sur les comportements politiques dans le contexte de « crise » (économique, migratoire et sécuritaire) que traverse le continent européen depuis plusieurs années. Après une introduction générale retraçant les origines et les développements de ces crises multiples, les différents chapitres se focalisent sur quatre problématiques plus spécifiques : (1) l'influence des clivages traditionnels sur les attitudes et le vote des citoyens ; (2) le rôle des valeurs dans la structuration des attitudes sur l'immigration et la sécurité ; (3) les attitudes et les comportements des citoyens issus de l'immigration ; (4) l'influence des attitudes en matière d'immigration et de sécurité sur la participation électorale et les autres formes de participation politique. L'étude se penche sur trois pays européens (la France, la Suisse et la Suède) et analyse les données issues de la vague 2014-2015 de l'enquête European Social Survey. Dans l'ensemble, les résultats démontrent l'importance primordiale acquise par la thématique de l'immigration dans la structuration des préférences politiques en Europe.
