This book analyzes the impact of social media on democracy and
politics at the sub-national level in developed and developing
countries. Over the last decade or so, social media has transformed
politics. Offering political actors opportunities to organize,
mobilize, and connect with constituents, voters, and supporters,
social media has become an important tool in global politics as
well as a force for democracy. Most of the available research
literature focuses on the impact of social media at the national
level; this book fills that gap by analyzing the political uses of
social media at the sub-national level. The book is divided into
two parts. Part One, "Social Media for Democracy" includes chapters
that analyze potential contributions of social media tools to the
realizing of basic values of democracy, such as public engagement,
transparency, accountability, participation and collaboration at
the sub-national level. Part Two, "Social Media in Politics"
focuses on the use of social media tools by political actors in
political processes and activities (online campaigns, protests
etc.) at the local, regional and state government levels during
election and non-election periods. Combining theoretical and
empirical analysis, each chapter provides evaluations of
overarching issues, questions, and problems as well as real-world
experiences with social media, politics, and democracy in a diverse
sample of municipalities. This volume will be of use to graduate
students, academicians, and researchers, in several disciplines and
fields, such as public administration, political science, ICT,
sociology, communication studies and public policy as well as
politicians and practitioners.
