In many countries, movement parties have swayed large tracts of the
electorate. Contributions to this edited book reflect on the place
of movement parties in democratic politics through analyses of
their communication. Reviewing evidence from several countries
including cases from Europe, Australia and India where movement
parties have gained ground in politics, this book illuminates the
important role that communication has played in their rise as well
as the issues surrounding it. Movement parties have expressed
greater sensitivity to neglected issues, a commitment to renewing
links with marginalized social groups through more direct-chiefly
online-communication with them as well as an ambition to overhaul
both the party organization and the political system. In doing so,
they have signalled a desire to disrupt and reimagine politics.
Yet, the critical examination of their efforts-and of the
communication environment in which they operate-against questions
regarding the quality of democracy-throws into relief a mismatch
between a participation-oriented rhetoric and concrete democratic
practices. Accordingly, contributions draw attention to
disconnections between a professed need for more immediate and
greater participation in movement party organization and
policymaking, on the one hand, their organizational practices and
the communication of parties, leaders, and supporters, on the
other. This book was originally published as a special issue of the
journal, Information, Communication & Society.
