Inkluzija strukturno diskriminisanih grupa – o deskriptivnoj i suštinskoj predstavljenosti
Inclusion of structurally discriminated groups – on descriptive and substantive representation

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to contribute to better understanding of political representation of structurally discriminated groups. It starts by acknowledging that equal treatment of individuals is not just if certain groups are denied access to representative institutions. In that sense, the paper follows the dominant line of the theory of group representation which advocates for the affirmative action measures in order to increase the presence of marginalized groups in the parliament. Descriptive representation is, however, not considered an adequate mode of political representation. It is, instead, treated as a measure which should help the interests of marginalized groups to be heard and defended in the parliament and it should influence policy changes in order to secure equality among citizens.
