Although in the Lisbon Treaty the EU conceives itself as a representative democracy, the meaning of this concept in a supranational polity is far from clear - either in theory or practice. Instead, the historically contingent link between representation and democracy is today severely challenged by various processes of diversification at all levels of political action (national, regional, supranational). These processes challenge our understanding of representative democracy as involving electoral democracy within clearly delineated nation-states, provoking a situation in which 'new frontiers' of representation develop. Consequently, it becomes increasingly difficult to provide normative standards as well as accurate assessments of democratic representation in the EU.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume addresses these core challenges of representative democracy in the EU from normative, theoretical and methodological perspectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was published as a special issue of the \u003cem\u003eJournal of European Public Policy\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sandra Kröger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415836026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415836029\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/08\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Sandra Kröger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112900243711,"sku":"9780415836029","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e6210b32-d63f-4829-ba87-2f7532f02306.jpg?v=1769611700","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-representative-turn-in-eu-sandra-krziger-9780415836029","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
