%0 Journal Article %T Slow theory: taking time over transnational democratic representation %A Michael Saward %J Ethics & Global Politics %D 2011 %I Co-Action Publishing %R 10.3402/egp.v4i1.6416 %X The possibility for transnational democratic representation is a huge topic. This article is restricted to exploring two unconventional aspects. The first concerns ¡®the representative claim¡¯, extending one critical part of previous analysis of the assessment of such claims, especially by largely unelected transnational actors. The second, which strongly conditions the account of the first, concerns ¡®slow theory¡¯ as the way to approach building democratic models and, in particular, to approach transnational democratic representation. %K slow politics %K slow theory %K transnational representation %K democracy and representation %K slow movement %U http://www.ethicsandglobalpolitics.net/index.php/egp/article/view/6416/7953
