How has the process of political representation changed in the era
of globalization? The representation of interests is at the heart
of democracy, but how is it that some interests secure a strong
voice, while others do not? While each person has multiple
interests linked to different dimensions of his or her identity,
much of the existing academic literature assumes that interests are
given prior to politics by a person's socioeconomic, institutional,
or cultural situation. This book mounts a radical challenge to this
view, arguing that interests are actively forged through processes
of politics. The book develops an analytic framework for
understanding how representation takes place - based on processes
of identification, mobilization, and adjudication - and explores
how these processes have evolved over time. Through a wide variety
of case studies, the chapters explore how actors identify their
interests, mobilize them into action, and resolve conflicts among
them.
