This work addresses the gap in the current collective action
literature exposed by the new Information and Communication
Technologies (ICTs) landscape by bringing together qualitative and
quantitative studies from computational and social sciences. The
book offers a rigorous and systematic investigation of both
methodological and theoretical underpinnings and, thus,
collectively promotes a symbiotic and synergistic advancement of
the multiple interconnected disciplines in studying online
collective actions. More specifically, the book is intended to
illuminate several fundamental and powerful yet theoretically
undeveloped and largely unexplored aspects of collective action in
the participatory media (e.g., social media). Through in-depth
exploration of relevant concepts, theories, methodologies,
applications, and case studies, the reader will gain an advanced
understanding of collective action with the advent of the new
generation of ICTs enabled by social media and the Internet. The
developed theories will be valuable and comprehensive references
for those interested in examining the role of ICTs not only in
collective action but also in decision and policy making,
understanding the dynamics of interaction, collaboration,
cooperation, communication, as well as information flow and
propagation, and social network research for years to come.
Further, the book also serves as an extensive repository of data
sets and tools that can be used by researchers leading to a deeper
and more fundamental understanding of the dynamics of the crowd in
online collective actions.
