This volume employs a comparative approach to cast light on
representation and representative processes from a communications
perspective. It focuses on online constituency communication,
aiming to provide a perspective from which to empirically study the
changes taking place in the relationship between citizens and their
representatives. The (hyper)mediatisation of politics and society
is here considered a relevant enabling factor, because it creates
the conditions leading to change in the nature of democratic
processes. The chapters discuss Podemos, the Lega, Law and Justice,
and the Five-star Movement as good examples of this phenomenon.
Populist and nationalist forces have emerged as bottom-up and
top-down entities aiming to embody the will of the people, or to
push for democratic processes to be more inclusive. Until now,
however, the intersection between populist and nationalist
discourses and the related question of representation have been
largely ignored. By analysing the transformations that have taken
place in MPs’ communication practices in non-election periods,
the contributors illuminate how social media is affecting MPs’
communication and examine the strains in the relationship between
executives and legislatures that populist and nationalist parties
exploit.
