In the developed world, there is no longer an issue of whether the
Internet affects politics--but rather how, why, and with what
consequences. With the Internet now spreading at a breathtaking
rate in the developing world, the new medium is fraught with
tensions, paradoxes, and contradictions. How do we make sense of
these? In this major new work, Andrew Chadwick addresses such
concerns, providing the first comprehensive overview of Internet
politics.
Internet Politics examines the impact of new communication
technologies on political parties and elections, pressure groups,
social movements, local democracy, public bureaucracies, and global
governance. It also analyzes persistent and controversial policy
problems, including the digital divide; the governance of the
Internet itself; the tensions between surveillance, privacy, and
security; and the political economy of the Internet media sector.
The approach is explicitly comparative, providing numerous examples
from the U.S., Britain, and many other countries. Written in a
clear and accessible style, this theoretically sophisticated and
up-to-date text reveals the key difference the Internet makes in
how we "do" politics and how we think about political life. A
companion website, www.andrewchadwick.com, offers dynamic,
regularly updated material to supplement the book, along with
PowerPoint slides for students and instructors, data spreadsheets,
and additional case studies. Featuring numerous figures, tables,
and text boxes, Internet Politics is ideal for undergraduate and
graduate courses in political science, international relations, and
communication studies.
