Abstract

As a key concept in political science representation is highly discussed. The penalists raise the question of how representation is determined by power relations. Ioana Antoaneta Dodi and Deborah Suma examine institutionalised political representation. In „Representation and legitimacy? The European Parliament as a lowest common denominator of the 28 national electoral laws“ Ioana Antoaneta Dodi uses an intersectional approach and aks how representative the given representation is.
