Resumen:

In this chapter Castaños and Monsiváis-Carillo demonstrate how theoretical debate and disagreement over the meaning of representation stems from the fact that the concept is ?essentially contestable?. Through a critique of prominent approaches to the concept, notably those by Pitkin and Pettit, the authors show how the representative claim approach is to be preferred in the context of this conceptual contestability. The chapter illustrates its argument via analyses of electoral contests that have had significant consequences for the dynamics of Mexico?s democracy. © 2024 Bristol University Press.
