In this powerful work, John Stuart Mill sets forth representative government as the most sensible compromise between unreflective rule by the masses and the self-indulgence of the few. The reader of this volume senses that Mill is being pulled in opposing directions: steadfastly committed to majority rule with minority rights while at the same time being just enough of an aristocrat to believe that the masses need exemplars to emulate. This edition has been carefully formatted for today's e ...

Several authors have recently stressed the constitutive and ubiquitous nature of representation, which, as a result, can no longer be conceived as a relation between pre-existing entities. This has important consequences for democratic representation, traditionally thought in terms of authorization, accountability or representativity. This article argues that Jacques Rancière's political philosophy makes a fruitful contribution to the necessary rethinking of democratic representation. Although Rancière never systematically developed a theory of representation, this concept is shown to constitute a red thread throughout his political writings. His main contribution consists in shifting the focus from the relation between representative and represented to the relation between the distribution of the sensible as a space of representability and its disruption or contestation. This makes it possible to recast a critique of representative government, and to reconceive of democratic representation, which is about making the contingent equality underlying each order visible.

The chronic dissatisfaction with representative institutions makes this chronicle of the development of the English parliament, from its beginnings in the thirteenth century to the outbreak of the civil wars in the seventeenth century, a most timely work for every student of history and government. In this book George L. Haskins is primarily interested in singling out the persistent currents in English society and government in order to show shy the representative feature of parliament became its significant feature. He emphasizes the influence of the Catholic Church, the importance of compulsory self-government, and the importance of judicial procedure in the evolution of parliament. Continental Europe has witnessed the repudiation of representative institutions in several countries. Elsewhere, particularly in England and the United States, there has been a growing conviction that the parliamentary system is ill suited to present world conditions. To many, as they look into the shadow of tomorrow, the vital question--brought to sharp focus in this book--is whether representative institutions can be adapted to the needs of these turbulent times
