Abstract
Democracy can entail the representation of discourses as well as persons or groups. We explain
and advocate discursive representation; explore its justifications, advantages, and problems;
and show how it can be accomplished in practice. This practice can involve the selection of
discursive representatives to a formal Chamber of Discourses and more informal processes grounded in
the broader public sphere. Discursive representation supports many aspects of deliberative democracy
and is especially applicable to settings such as the international system lacking a well-defined demos.
