Roles of Representation in the Parliament

---

The book Roles of Representation in the Parliament explores the multifaceted nature of political representation within legislative institutions, emphasizing how elected members embody, articulate, and act upon the interests of the people they serve. It examines both theoretical and practical dimensions of representation—ranging from the delegate and trustee models to contemporary participatory and deliberative approaches—while situating them in the context of evolving democratic practices.

Drawing on comparative case studies from various parliamentary systems, the book analyzes how institutional design, party discipline, electoral systems, and political culture shape the effectiveness and legitimacy of representation. It also discusses the tensions between representing local constituencies and adhering to national policy agendas, as well as the growing demands for transparency, accountability, and inclusivity in modern parliaments.

Furthermore, the book highlights the changing role of parliaments in the digital age, where social media and citizen engagement redefine traditional notions of political communication and responsiveness. By integrating perspectives from political theory, sociology, and public administration, the author underscores the importance of strengthening representational functions as a cornerstone of democratic governance.
