The Puzzle of Representation: Specifying Components of Responsiveness. Eulau, H. & Karps, P. D. Legislative Studies Quarterly, 2(3):233, August, 1977. Publisher: Washington University
doi  abstract   bibtex   
This study examines the conceptualization of representation, particularly the problems resulting from conceiving of it simply in terms of congruence between the attitudes of constituents and of representatives on policy questions. It examines critically some of the work that followed the innovative study of Miller and Stokes. Regarding representation as responsiveness, it identifies four components of this concept: policy, service, allocation, and symbolic responsiveness.
