Reviews
''Insgesamt gesehen liefert das Buch einen sehr fundierten UEberblick zum Stand der vergleichenden und der auf unterschiedliche Reiche und Territorien bezogenen Forschungen zu politischer Reprasentation und Standeversammlungen. Es leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Diskussion neuerer Forschungsansatze und theoretischer Modelle und gibt ausserst vertiefenswerte Anregungen fur kunftige Forschungen''. Gisela Naegle in Francia Recensio , 4 (2019). On the whole I very much welcome these two new volumes, because they usefully unite different approaches to the study of pre-modern political representation. Moreover, because of the serendipity of their publication and the editors' shared commitment to using the perspective of empowering interactions in the study of representative institutions - especially since the potential to do so seems not to have been fully realized yet in the volumes themselves - the books set a clear agenda for future research. Joris Oddens (University of Padova, Italy/Huygens-ING) in European History Quarterly, 2019, Vol. 49(3) 491-547
""Dem Band gelingt es mithin, einem Thema, zu dem schon viel gesagt worden ist, inhaltliche Elemente und methodische Ideen hinzuzufügen, die weniger auf grundstürzend Neues aus sind, sondern vielmehr klassische Analyseinstrumente mit solchen vor allem aus dem weiten Feld der Ideen- und Kulturgeschichte verbinden. Olaf Mörke, Kiel in Zeitschrift für Historische Forschung 47 (2020), 2 ''Insgesamt gesehen liefert das Buch einen sehr fundierten Überblick zum Stand der vergleichenden und der auf unterschiedliche Reiche und Territorien bezogenen Forschungen zu politischer Repräsentation und Ständeversammlungen. Es leistet einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Diskussion neuerer Forschungsansätze und theoretischer Modelle und gibt äußerst vertiefenswerte Anregungen für künftige Forschungen''.

Political scientists, economists, and historians of all periods will find much of value in the collection; many of the chapters require readers to acquaint themselves with very specific circumstances and institutions, but the authors do a fine job of explaining why these details matter and what light they shed on specific aspects of representation. Lastly, the editors at Brill deserve praise for their care in publishing the work; too often excellent volumes suffer from typos and thoughtless errors, but happily such was not the case here"". Alison Williams Lewin, in The Medieval Review , June 2020. ""Throughout its fourteen chapters, the book presents how political representation was instituted in Europe between 1200 and 1690. [...] This book is of interest not only for medieval and early modern historians, who will find a new and more accurate approach to the classical topic of estates and representative assemblies, but also for political theorists, who will benefit from a genealogical approach to political representation, a key topic in political theory indeed"". Montserrat Herrero, Renaissance Quarterly, 73 (2), pp. 640-641.
