The Strain of Representation assesses and explains the extent to
which political parties across Europe as a whole have succeeded in
representing diverse voters. The authors note two important
features of the European political landscape that complicate the
task of assessing party representation and that require its
reassessment: First, the emergence of new democracies in
post-Communist Central and Eastern Europe point to the possibility
that representation is not only differentially achieved in West and
East but may also be attained by different mechanisms. Second,
parties in both West and East must now seek to represent voters
that are increasingly diverse, specifically between partisan and
independent supporters. The book refers to the challenges of
representation of diverse voters as 'the strain of representation'.
The evidential basis for the empirical analysis are expert surveys
conducted in 24 European countries on party positions that have
been merged with other available data on voters, party
characteristics, and country conditions. The results point to both
the representational capacities of parties in West and East and to
the strain that parties face in representing diverse voters.
