During this two-day workshop, our aim is to bring together scholars that approach the processes and institutions of representative democracy and mass politics from a variety of perspectives. In the first part of the workshop, we will discuss the main themes and arguments of The Meaning of Partisanship with the authors. The second part will be dedicated to independent research papers. We will engage with theoretical papers as well as more empirically-minded work that is in direct dialogue with recent theoretical literature on representative democracy.
