The Handbook of Political Representation in Liberal Democracies
offers a state-of-the-art assessment of the functioning of
political representation in liberal democracies. In 34 chapters the
world's leading scholars on the various aspects of political
representation address eight broad themes: The concept and theories
of political representation, its history and the main requisites
for its development; elite orientations and behavior; descriptive
representation; party government and representation; non-electoral
forms of political participation and how they relate to political
representation; the challenges to representative democracy
originating from the growing importance of non-majoritarian
institutions and social media; the rise of populism and its
consequences for the functioning of representative democracy; the
challenge caused by economic and political globlization: what does
it mean for the functioning of political representation at the
national leval and is it possible to develop institutions of
representative democracy at a level above the state that meet the
normative criteria of representative democracy and are supported by
the people? The various chapters offer a comprehensive review of
the literature on the various aspects of political representation.
The main organizing principle of the Handbook is the chain of
political representation, the chain connecting the interests and
policy preferences of the people to public policy via political
parties, parliament, and government. Most of the chapters assessing
the functioning of the chain of political representation and its
various links are based on original comparative political research.
Comparative research on political representation and its various
subfields has developed dramatically over the last decades so that
even ten years ago a Handbook like this would have looked totally
different.
