The Internet in China reflects many contradictions and complexities
of the society in which it is embedded. Despite the growing
significance of digital media and communication technologies,
research on their contingent, non-linear, and sometimes paradoxical
impact on civic engagement remains theoretically underdeveloped and
empirically understudied. As importantly, many studies on the
internet's implications in Chinese societies have focused on China.
This book draws on a variety of theoretical and methodological
approaches to advance a balanced and context-rich understanding of
the effects of digital media and communication technologies,
especially social media, for state legitimacy, the rise of
issue-based networks, the growth of the public sphere, and various
forms of civic engagement in China, Taiwan, and the global Chinese
diaspora. Using ethnography, interview, experiment, survey, and the
big data method, scholars from North America, Europe, and Asia show
that the couture and impacts of digital activism depend on issue
and context. This book was originally published as a special issue
of Information, Communication & Society.
