摘要
This article examines the case of Taiwan's anti-same-sex marriage referendum of 2018. This case shows that a referendum can severely affect the model of constitutional sovereignty which has guided Taiwan since its democratisation. The fact that populists were able to use the referendum as a tool to delegitimise the state organs, we argue, throws light on the relationship between populism and direct democracy.
