REPRESENTATION
Book ID/图书代码： 13149014B74011
English Summary/英文概要： This volume, offers the thought of twenty scholars on the theory, history, and practice of representation. Two developments make a new appraisal of this subject timely. One is the decision of the United States Supreme Court requiring representation to be democratic in the sense of affording every voter an equal voice in government. The other, that some governments that are not democratic in the sense of having freely competitive political parties are now nevertheless "representative." A number of essays in this volume deal with the problems of equitable apportionment of representation from the point of view of constitutional law, normative theory, and practical politics. Two take up the proposal of weighted voting as a means for meeting the Supreme Court’s objectives, and two others inquire into the meaning of representation under noncompetitive party systems. Combining an overview of the subject with a detailed analysis of its various aspects, this book presents information of major significance for all engaged in the study of political processes, comparative politics, constitutional law, political theory, and legislative behavior. The general reader of politics and political and legal philosophy will find here a clear vision and explication of the theoretical and practical background and the underpinnings of representative government. J. Roland Pennock was professor of political science at Swarthmore College for more than twenty-five years, as well as a fellow at the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation. John W. Chapman is professor emeritus of political science at the University of Pittsburgh.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本卷收录了20位学者对代议制理论、历史及实践的想法和思考。两大发展对这一主题进行了及时的评价。其中之一是美国最高法院要求代议制是民主的，确保每位选民在政府中享有平等的声音。另一个发展是一些因为没有具有自由竞争优势的政党而显得不民主的政府依然是“代议制”。本卷中的几篇论文从宪法、规范性理论和政治实践的角度探讨了代议制在衡平法上的分配问题。两篇论文提出将加权投票作为实现最高法院目标的方法。两篇论文研究了非竞争性政党制度下代议制的意义。本书对代议制进行了概述并详细分析其各个方面，为所有从事政治过程、比较政治、宪法、政治理论和立法行为研究的人员提供了意义非凡的信息。对政治、政治及法律哲学感兴趣的读者也会在此书中收获有关代议制政府的专业知识。(LYR)
