Sažetak

This paper surveys political science literature in search of a proper conceptualization
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 political
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.
