Workshop – The Principles of Representative Government at 30 – Feb. 2025 Leiden
Bonjour à tous et toutes,
Nous avons le plaisir d’annoncer l’organisation d’un atelier à Leiden en février 2025 à l’occasion du 30e anniversaire des *Principes du gouvernement représentatif* de Bernard Manin.
Vous trouverez toutes les informations nécessaires ci-dessous. Meilleures salutations Hugo Bonin et Henk te Velde _____ The Principles of Representative Government : Thirty Years Later A workshop on Bernard Manin’s book Thursday 20th to Friday 21st February 2025, Leiden Organised by Henk te Velde and Hugo Bonin
Published in French 1995 and translated into English in 1997, Bernard Manin’s *Principles of Representative Government* stands as one of the classic works on the question of political representation. Favorably reviewed as soon as it came out, the book has since enjoyed considerable success, both in academia and beyond. Bridging historical analysis and political theorising, Manin offered a lasting contribution, which still shapes discussions of election, representation, democracy or sortition to this day. This workshop is the occasion for a critical reappraisal of the core ideas of the book, as well as a study of its reception and its impact in debates on political representation.
