  • Deliberative Representation in Parliament 95
    Department of Political Science University of Helsinki Helsinki DELIBERATIVE REPRESENTATION IN PARLIAMENT Jenni M. Rinne ACADEMIC DISSERTATION To be presented, with the permission of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Helsinki, for public examination in lecture room 302, Athena building, on 17 January 2020, at 12 noon. Helsinki 2020 Publications of the Faculty of Social Sciences 134 (2020) © Jenni M. Rinne Distribution and sales: Unigrafi, Helsinki http://shop.unigrafia.fi [email protected] ISBN 978-951-51-3424-0 (pbk.) ISBN 978-951-51-3423-3 (PDF) ISNN 2343-273X (pbk.) ISNN 2343-2748 (web) Helsinki University Printing House Helsinki 2020 ABSTRACT This research sets out clarifying theoretically the relations with two democratically relevant concepts: political representation and deliberation. It does so by developing the idea of ‘deliberative representation’ and studying it empirically in a parliamentary context. Recent scholarship of representation, namely the constructivist turn, sees the concept of representation as dynamic and fluid. As such, this paradigm shift looks past the electoral notion that highlights the premise of interests and preferences. Scholarship on deliberation is similarly revising its focus. This research draws especially from the systemic approach to deliberation. It implies that loosening traditional normative criteria will advance the study of deliberation in politically charged settings such as legislatures. Both strands of theories are gradually assuming context and function sensitive perspectives that are merged in my reading of deliberative representation. The under-theorised link between representation and deliberation has resulted in shortage of empirical accounts of where representatives operate in. The research is motivated by a simple question: what do representatives actually do when they represent? Finding answers to this question helps in understanding what drives deliberation in parliaments.

There are no earlier studies on Finno-Korean relations. However, the relations are worth of analysis as they show how two geographically and culturally distant countries can build close and beneficial relations. In addition, the present study shows that the development of Finno- Korean relations reflects clearly the dynamics of the world order. Our deepest gratitude goes to President Kwon In-Hyuk of Korea Foundation for taking our project to the research programme of the Foundation. Furthermore, we are deeply indebted to Professor Emerita Lee In-Ho and Ambassador Lauri Korpinen for their enthusiasm toward our project. The study was conducted at the Helsinki School of Economics (HSE). It was started in the department of International Business and finalised at the Center for Markets in Transition (CEMAT).
