From Representation in Politics to Political Representation: facing the double issue of legitimacy and plurality

Abstract

The importance of representation in modern politics leads authors to define this concept with the help of different paradigms – from law to drama. The concern with a higher degree of democracy among populations leads to strength representation and its political premises. This concern is supported by the issue of guaranteeing both legitimacy and plurality. Responses to this issue correspond to the rise of many different normative views of political communities.
