Samenvatting

This authoritative Encyclopedia provides a comprehensive overview of political representation, with a particular emphasis on contemporary liberal democratic regimes.

Presenting concise entries authored by leading scholars, this Encyclopedia traces the historical origins of political representation, exploring key thinkers, pivotal studies, and significant theoretical developments that have shaped modern understanding of this topic. The Encyclopedia examines the institutional mechanisms that influence political representation, covering electoral systems, party structures, and party systems. It also addresses pressing contemporary challenges such as increasing inequalities, the spread of fake news, the rise of right-wing populism, and the double exit of both citizens and parties from the electoral arena.

The Elgar Encyclopedia of Political Representation is a vital resource for scholars and students of politics and public policy, particularly those studying international politics, constitutions studies, leadership studies, public administration and management, and political theory.
