Abstract
What is malaise in representation? It is a diffuse and sometimes confused feeling that ordinary citizens can have about the way they are represented and governed. Rather than using malaise with representation (which would imply significant awareness of and reflection about the experience), we prefer to talk about malaise in representation in order to convey the idea of a certain discomfort with the practical experience of feeling represented (or not). This is the subject of this book and it calls for answers to a series of questions. How different is this malaise in representation from a crisis of representation? What causes it? Is it really determined by countries’ level of development or does it simply reflect citizens’ perceptions of inequality or injustice? Is it a feeling of anger with the democratic system in general or more specifically with parties and governments? What concrete expressions of malaise can be measured through opinion surveys and in terms of social mobilization?
