About this book

This book examines the nature of representation in democracy, focusing specifically on the factors shaping constituent evaluations of the US House Representatives and the resulting implications for government.

Reviews

"Dr. Lauermann not only develops a more comprehensive model of constituent evaluations of representatives, but she also provides a stunningly broad-based review of the literature on representation and the relationship between constituents and elected officials. She also provides a rather thorough review of how other studies seem to chip away around the edges. This work is a 'must-assign' for classes in legislative politics or those taking a more theoretical approach to the study of representation and republican government." Jim Twombly, Associate Professor of Political Science, Elmira College, USA
