This book examines the nature of representation in democracy,
focusing on constituent evaluations of Congress members and the
implications these results have on citizens' influence on
government. This analysis elaborates on the complex relationship
citizens have with their representatives, shedding light on the
constituent perspective in two ways. First, the model unpacks the
rarely-examined evaluation process, a lynchpin in the
representational relationships between member behavior and
elections. Second, it engages a broader perspective of
representative responsiveness which includes the intangible aspect
of symbolic responsiveness, an under-studied component of research
within comprehensive assessments of representation. Constituent
Perceptions of Political Representation shows that symbolic
responsiveness is often the most influential factor affecting
constituent evaluations while also posing significant questions
about the basis of our democracy: if we are dissatisfied with the
caliber of our government, do we acknowledge our role as citizens
in setting poor or vague standards? Why are we dismayed when
representatives give us what we ask for? Robin M. Lauermann
addresses these questions in a comprehensive and readable work that
will appeal to students and scholars interested in the unique,
ever-important relationship between public opinion and
Congressional outcomes.
