Crisis of Representation

The Crisis of Representation refers to the challenge in political and social systems where elected officials or institutions struggle to accurately reflect the diverse interests, identities, and views of the people they serve. It questions whether current structures truly capture the will of the population or if they simplify, distort, or overlook important perspectives. This problem can lead to feelings of alienation, mistrust, and disengagement among citizens, raising concerns about legitimacy and effectiveness of representation in a democracy.
