McDougall Trust's quarterly unattributed peer-reviewed journal REPRESENTATION has been published (in the present series) since 1960. Its primary focus has been the study of elections and voting systems; but it has a general interest in all matters relating to the theme of representative democracy.
REPRESENTATION has established itself as a recognised journal of record and comment in its field, both within the United Kingdom and internationally.
REPRESENTATION explores the interface between democratic practice and theory. For example, theoretical discussion can make a significant contribution to current practices in topics such as the democratic deficit, representation for women and minorities, modernising elections, voter education and democratic institutions at transnational, or global, level. Representation offers a place for debates and scholarship, both empirical and normative, on democratic practices around the world.
REPRESENTATION is read primarily by academics and students, journalists and election practitioners, but aims to be accessible to politically informed lay readers.
From 2006 (Volume 42) REPRESENTATION has been published by McDougall Trust in association with Taylor & Francis Group (Routledge).
