Representation by Monica Brito Vieira
What is representation? What does it mean when a politician represents citizens in government? How can citizens be represented beyond the boundaries of the nation-state? This book answers such questions. It also explains why representation should be understood as one of the key concepts in modern politics.
“Runciman and Vieira track the history of the idea of representation, break apart the complex of themes that it encodes, and reveal some salient lessons for the internal and external organization of statesThis is rich, intriguing and important stuff — political theory at its best.”

“The authors succeed splendidly in their admirable ambition to survey the past, present and future of the concept of representation in a manner that is at once accessible and original, giving both neophyte and expert plenty to think about.”
Richard Bellamy, University College London
