[ecrea] Routledge Handbook of Internet Politics

Wed Aug 27 10:00:34 GMT 2008



Routledge Handbook of Internet Politics
Edited by Andrew Chadwick (Royal Holloway, University of London, UK) and Philip N. Howard (University of Washington, USA)

The politics of the internet has entered the social science mainstream. From debates about its impact on parties and election campaigns following momentous presidential contests in the United States, to concerns over international security, privacy and surveillance in the post-9/11, post-7/7 environment; from the rise of blogging as a threat to the traditional model of journalism, to controversies at the international level over how and if the internet should be governed by an entity such as the United Nations; from the new repertoires of collective action open to citizens, to the massive programs of public management reform taking place in the name of e-government,
internet politics and policy are continually in the headlines.

The Routledge Handbook of Internet Politics is a collection of over 30 chapters dealing with the most significant scholarly debates in this rapidly growing field of study. Organized in four broad sections, the Handbook summarizes and criticizes contemporary debates while pointing out new departures. A comprehensive set of resources, it provides linkages to established theories of media and politics, political communication, governance, deliberative democracy and social movements, all
within an interdisciplinary context.

This is the first publication of its kind in this field; a helpful companion to students and scholars of
politics, international relations, communication studies and sociology.
