The transformative impacts of digitalization on society are visible
both within nation states and across borders. Information and
communication technologies are typically considered beneficial for
democracy. Nevertheless, this book explores the challenges that
technology brings to democracy, and in so doing advances our
understanding of this crucial digital, social and political
phenomenon. It contributes to the broader discussion of the
relationship between international, national and sub-national
norms, institutions and actors in an increasingly connected world.
Insightful and current, this book offers a wide variety of
perspectives in an area where there is still not yet an extensive
body of research. It considers, for example: the extent to which
new forms of digital political engagement change traditional
democratic decision-making; how receptive national governments and
authorities are to digital democratic movements; how governments
can uphold the values of democratic society while also ensuring
flexibility with regard to the private sector; and how we should
judge these developments in light of the cross-border effects of
digitalization. Understanding the influence of digitalization on
democracy is crucial. As such, this book will appeal to a broad
audience including, but not limited to, social scientists, policy
makers, legal researchers, NGOs, governments, students and lawyers.
