As democracy encounters increasing difficulties, many citizens are
turning to the domain of alternative politics, and in so doing,
making considerable use of the Web and other new communication
technologies. Clearly this is having significant impact, and we see
that new modes of political participation and even political
cultures are emerging. Yet, we would be foolish to expect some
simple 'techno-fix' for democracy; its problems are more complex
than that. This volume analyses various factors that shape such
Web-facilitated participation, including features of the Web itself
as well as broader societal realities. Avoiding simplistic optimism
or pessimism, the discussion highlights the tensions and
force-fields that impact on participation. The presentation also
addresses several key topics in regard to citizens' engagement,
such as civic subjectivity, web intellectuals, and cosmopolitanism.
While anchored in an extensive literature and wide theoretical
vistas, the book is written in a clear and accessible style.
