Main aim of the paper is to provide in-depth-analysis of the intellectual history of the study of political representation in Greece. This field of research lacked systematic empirical research -up to 2005-when the study of the INTUNE Project started. In 2007 the first survey of the Comparative Candidate Surveys (CCS) was conducted. Under this project three more studies took place (for the national elections of 2009, 2012, 2015). Moreover, Greece also participated at the PARENEL project. The objective of this paper is to present the most important findings of these studies of political representation in Greece framing them in a wider theoretical context. Special attention is given to the methodological aspects and challenges related to these studies.
