The Internet's explosive growth over the past decade is nowhere
more visible than in Asia. Fueled by an expanding middle class,
thousands of people connect to the Internet for the first time each
day to explore and discuss issues that are relevant to them and
their lives. This book provides an in-depth look at the impact of
social media on political engagement among young citizens in this
rapidly changing region of the world. Leading media scholars from
nine Asian nations focus on three main questions: How frequently do
Asians use social media to access and discuss political
information? Does the use of social media increase political
participation? What political, social and cultural factors
influence the impact of social media on political engagement in
each nation? To answer these questions, contributors first analyze
the current state of social media in their nations and then present
the findings of a cross-national survey on social media use that
was conducted with over 3,500 Asian respondents. By employing a
comparative approach, they analyze how social media function and
interact with the cultural and political systems in each country -
and how they might affect political engagement among individual
citizens.
