About This Podcast

Visions of Representation is a series of interviews edited by Andrew Schaap (Director of the series) with scholars in democratic theory as part of the Horizon-funded Redirect project. In these interviews world-leading experts in democratic theory discuss their ideas about the shifting dynamics in practices of representation in contemporary political life. The interviews introduce the state of the art of contemporary academic debates about the nature of representation, including diagnoses of the disconnect between representatives and represented in Western democracies and proposals for reconnection through democratic innovations.

REDIRECT is a project funded by the EU’s Horizon-Europe programme. Call: HORIZON-CL2-DEMOCRACY-01-Democracy in flux. Grant Number: 101095142
