This book offers the first comprehensive, comparative and coherent
perspective on parliamentary candidates in contemporary
representative democracy. Based on the unique database of the
'Comparative Candidate Survey' project which interrogated
parliamentary candidates in more than 30 countries, it fills a
significant lacuna by focusing on the thousands of ordinary
candidates that participate in national elections. It examines who
the candidates are in terms of their socio-demographic background
and political career patterns, how they were selected by their
parties, what their policy preference are and whether these are
congruent to those held by their voters, who they seek to represent
and how they intend to do so once elected, and what their visions
are on representative democracy and party government. Last but not
least, it investigates how they go about reaching out to their
potential voters during the election campaign. This book will be of
key interest to scholars and students of political parties and
party politics, political elites, political communication,
political participation, elections, theories of democracy and
representation, legislative studies, voting behaviour and more
broadly to European politics, as well as to political and policy
professionals throughout Europe.
