Abstract
From the perspective of State theory, the pair representation-participation generally expresses a process of connection between Society and the State, leading towards a growing presence of the former within the latter. Historically, however, this connecting process has not always translated into fruitful or even harmonic results. This paper sustains that, in order to attend to the demands of “good governement”, a triangular equilibrium is needed among participation, representation and expertise.
