Sažetak
This paper surveys political science literature in search of a proper concep- tualization of political representation. The first section of the paper reviews most influential normative and theoretical understandings of political representation. The section concludes with a summary of general attributes of the concept of representation which ought to be taken into consideration in each study on representation. The second section reviews empirical studies of po- litical representation with one main intention: to provide a synthesis of different empirical understandings of “who is being represented”, “what is being represented” and “who is the representative”. Instead of conclusion a novel model of the process of representation is presented at the end, which should be read as a conceptual map for future studies on political representation.
