摘要标准帐户假定代表通过在领土定义的选区中的选举获得授权并承担责任。相比之下，提出主张的方法认为，代表权并不总是取决于选举关系。本文认为，提出索赔的方法解决了标准账户中的一些困难，但在理论上仍然没有具体说明。当适用于欧盟等制度异常复杂的体系时，这一点变得尤为明显。作为对这两种方法的替代，本文提出了一种修正的债权制作方法，其中权利债权被用来具体说明代表人债权。然后说明权利主张实际上如何在欧洲联盟舞台上提出的代表权主张中发挥重要作用，以及这反过来又如何使欧盟能够处理在其决策中适用标准代表形式的一些问题。
Abstract Standard accounts assume that representatives are authorised and held accountable through elections in territorially defined constituencies. In contrast, claims-making approaches hold that representation does not always depend on an electoral connection. This paper argues that the claims-making approach addresses some of the difficulties in the standard account, but remains itself theoretically underspecified. This becomes especially clear when applied to systems with exceptional institutional complexity like the EU. As an alternative to both those other approaches, the paper proposes a revised claims-making approach in which rights claims are used to specify representative claims. It then shows how rights claims do, indeed, play an important role in the representative claims that are made in the European Union arena, and how that, in turn, allows the Union to deal with some of the problems of applying standard forms of representation to its decision-making.
