Gabriel, Eric Kerrouche, Suzanne S. Schüttemeyer1st ed. 2018.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2018.1 online resource (XIV, 350 p. 31 illus.) New Perspectives in German Political Studies3-319-72028-7 Notwithstanding its contemporary critics, political representation remains at the core of democratic politics. Based on a comparative research project that gathered data from observations, surveys, experiments and expert interviews, this book examines the process and the quality of political representation in France and Germany from a dual perspective. First, it analyzes MPs’ behavior during their district activities. Second, it investigates the perceptions and evaluations of the represented, the French and German citizens. In ten chapters different facets of MPs’ activities as well as citizens’ attitudes are comparatively investigated. The book is relevant for Politics scholars and practitioners at national parliaments to better understand representative democracies, and it may also contribute to improve representation itself.New Perspectives in German Political StudiesGermany—Politics and governmentFrance—Politics and governmentDemocracyComparative politicsGerman Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911190French Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911210Democracyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911050Comparative Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911040Germany—Politics and government.France—Politics and government.Democracy.Comparative politics.German Politics.French Politics.Democracy.Comparative Politics.320.943Gabriel Oscar Wedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtKerrouche Ericedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSchüttemeyer Suzanne Sedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300503403321Political Representation in France and Germany2105524UNINA
