This closing conference of the Academy of Finland Professor Project Political Representation: Tensions between Parliament and the People from the Age of Revolutions to the 21st Century explores the contested nature of concepts that have been and are used to construct democracy.
This is done on one hand by analyzing how parliamentarians’ understandings of representation and democracy have changed over time in interaction with society at large, including the media and academia, and on the other on how the parliamentary form of representative democracy has been debated in extra-parliamentary theorizing and discussions. ​
The conference is organised in London, and further details will be published closer to the event. Participation by invitation only.
