Reviews
“This book is a major and timely contribution to the important and growing field of studies about democratic representation. The authors cover important dimensions of the triadic link between voters, parties and candidates that help explain differences and similarities in candidates’ background, campaign activities, policy congruence and views on representation and democracy.” (Eva H. Önnudóttir, University of Iceland, Iceland)
