At a time when political representation can be said to be facing
its ultimate crisis, this crucial work clarifies the terms of the
debate, providing an up-to-date analysis of the main conceptual and
institutional controversies that have arisen surrounding this
topic. Written by leading scholars in the field, contributions
focus on how representation is conceptualised and its relation to
democracy, examining how political institutions in different
historical periods (ranging from the middle ages to the modern day)
have ensured representation based on demands of various social
forces. This Research Handbook also encapsulates the directions
taken by the main strands of empirical research in political
representation within the context of liberal democracies and
beyond. Overall, this provides a major contribution to the growing
understanding of one of the most important institutional inventions
of contemporary politics. The Research Handbook on Political
Representation is a comprehensive and agile guide to the main
bodies of literature on representation for academic researchers in
political science, sociology and history. It will also guide
post-graduate and graduate students of the same fields in the
exploration of the crucial research questions arising from the
concept and reality of political representation.
