From its inception as a public communication network, the Internet
was regarded by many people as a potential means of escaping from
the stranglehold of top-down, stage-managed politics. If hundreds
of millions of people could be the producers as well as receivers
of political messages, could that invigorate democracy? If
political elites fail to respond to such energy, where will it
leave them? In this short book, internationally renowned scholar of
political communication, Stephen Coleman, argues that the best way
to strengthen democracy is to re-invent it for the twenty-first
century. Governments and global institutions have failed to seize
the opportunity to democratise their ways of operating, but online
citizens are ahead of them, developing practices that could
revolutionise the exercise of political power.
