The internet opens up new opportunities for citizens to organize
and mobilize for action but it also provides new channels that
established political, social and economic interests can use to
extend their powers. Will the internet revolutionize politics? The
Prospect of Internet Democracy is a rich and detailed exploration
of the theoretical implications of the internet and related
information and communication technologies (ICTs) for democratic
theory. Focusing in particular on how political uses of the
internet have affected or seem likely to affect patterns of
influence among citizens, interest groups and political
institutions, the authors examine whether the internet's impact on
democratic politics is destined to repeat the history of other
innovative ICTs. The volume explores the likely long-term effects
of such uses on the conduct of politics in the USA and other
nations that declare themselves modern democracies and assesses the
extent to which they help or hinder viable democratic governance.
