摘要：In this article, I briefly review what I have learned about this resistance from my studies of the organization of the representation of "women" in the Equal Opportunity Program at the City of Toronto and the Citizenship Branch of the Department of the Secretary of State. In articulating community leaders to the existing practices of state administrations, representation as we know it today works against the engagement of the community in the process of democratization. If democratization is to work, it must be a process that begins by dismantling practices that have been organized since the 1960s to represent the community in the development of state policies and the workforces of state administrations. Rather than targeting practices that limit accountability, I argue that democratization must begin by targeting practices that limit the autonomy of the community.
