This book confronts and discusses different conceptions of
political representation with respect to their application to the
system of multi-level governance in the European Union. Political
representation is an essentially contested concept. Its meaning has
evolved with the development of representative democracy at the
level of the nation state, and normative theories of political
representation often evolved as a reflection on developing
practices rather than the other way around.
Since the EU is not a conventional nation state, and since the
effectiveness and legitimacy of classic notions of political
representation at the level of the national state has also become a
matter of dispute, the EU has become a playground for the
development of alternative or additional conceptions of democracy.
The contributions to this volume evaluate these alternative
conceptions with regard to both their effectiveness and their
legitimacy, and combine both conceptual and empirical analyses.
This book was based on a special issue of Journal of European
Public Policy.
