[ecrea] Cfp for 'Contemporary Social Science' Journal: Election Campaigns and Political Communication

  /Contemporary Social Science/Special Issue: Election Campaigns and
  Political Communication

Deadline: 6 March 2017

Submissions are invited to a special issue on election campaigns and 
related communication. Contributions are welcome from a wide range of 
disciplines including communication science, sociology, political 
science, psychology, and advertising as well as pollsters, from around 
the world.

Empirically based papers (quantitative or qualitative) are preferred 
that explore for example, the impact on election campaigns of social 
media, digital technologies and the social and political changes 
experienced in Western and other societies over recent decades. The 
changes occurring  in the relationships between political parties, the 
media and citizens, are likely to have  far reaching consequences for 
democracy and governance, raising many questions for social science 
research. Papers may deal  inter alia with such issues as whether there 
are changes in the role of conventional mass media on election 
campaigns; how communication flows in social networks influence voting 
activity, or whether political parties are  evolving in response to 
changes in the social and digital environment.


    Submission Guidelines

Manuscripts should follow the usual instructions for electronic 
submission of papers to /Contemporary Social Science/. Authors should 
indicate that they wish the manuscript to be reviewed for inclusion in 
the themed issue. The Editors of this issue would be happy to review 
plans for papers in advance of their receipt. All papers will be peer 
reviewed.

The closing date for submitting papers is 6th March 2017.
