Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
• You have to take part in the first session
• Attendance and class participation (10 % of the final mark)
• Submit three meaningful questions for the required readings five times during the seminar (10 % of the final mark)
• Short discussion paper on real-world representation problem (15 % of the final mark)
• Submission of research proposal and giving feedback to your peers (15 % of the final mark)
• Research paper (50 % of the final mark)Each component will be marked separately. The overall mark will be the weighted average of the marks from the five components, whereby it is not necessary that each of the components is successful. In other words, students are allowed to fail any of the five components and can still pass the class as long as the overall mark is at least 4. However, students have to submit at least something for every component.The marking scheme is structed as follows:100-87 Points = 1
86,99-75 Points = 2
74,99-63 Points = 3
62,99-50 Points = 4
49,99-0 Points = 5

of representation and other important concepts in this strand of research. We will continue by distinguishing between different types of representation (f.e. descriptive and substantive representation). Here, we will also focus on analysing the representation of different constituents such as women or the LGBTQ+ community as well as potential consequences of (non-)representation. The second part of this seminar is devoted to the study of actual representation. If parties are able to fulfil the pledges they made during the electoral campaign, they are able to represent the preferences of their voters. But what influences pledge fulfilment? And how can we explain the puzzling finding that voters think that parties do not keep their promises even though research has found that pledge fulfilment is quite high? The course provides the students with the knowledge of the relevant theories of political representation and introduces methodological challenges in the field. The aim of the course is to support the students to develop and answer a research question of their own in the area of political representation. Knowledge of statistical analysis is helpful for students taking part in this course.
