This book examines the recent evolution of online spaces and their
impact on networked democracy. Through an illuminating mix of
theoretical and methodological analysis, contributors provide an
understanding of how a range of individuals and groups, including
activists and NGOs, governments and griefers, are using digital
technologies to influence public debates. Contributions consider
these phenomena in a global contemporary context, providing within
the same volume rigorous examinations of the design of digital
platforms for deliberation, users' attempts to manipulate those
platforms, and the ways activists and governments are responding to
emerging threats to democratic discourse. Providing diverse, global
case studies, this collection is a valuable tool for academics
within and beyond the fields of new media, communication, and
information policy and governance.
