This volume provides a comparative analysis of the use of the World
Wide Web in countries around the world for political campaign
purposes.
Drawing upon a common conceptual framework - the 'Web sphere, '
and a shared methodological approach called Web feature analysis -
in order to examine how the Internet is used by a variety of
political actors during periods of electoral activity. Research
teams around the world conducted analyses in technologically
advanced nations, as well as those with low Internet diffusion, and
a variety of countries in the middle range of network penetration,
and from a variety of political and cultural contexts. The book
represents an important contribution towards gaining a
cross-national understanding of the current and emerging impacts of
the Internet on political practice. To that end, the contributors
collect and analyze data related to the structure for political
action and information provision. They examine twelve types of
political actors engaged in elections, including candidates,
parties, non-governmental organizations, government, media and
individual citizens.
Exploring the complex dynamics between politics, culture, and
information technology at both the national and global levels, The
Internet and National Elections will be of interest to students and
researchers of political science, communication studies,
international relations, media and Internet studies.
