OverviewIt is commonplace to observe that the Internet--and the dizzying technologies and applications which it continues to spawn--has revolutionized human communications. But, while the medium's impact has apparently been immense, the nature of its political implications remains highly contested. To give but a few examples, the impact of networked individuals and institutions has prompted serious scholarly debates in political science and related disciplines on: the evolution of 'e-government' and 'e-politics' (especially after the 2004 and 2008 US presidential campaigns); electronic voting and other citizen participation; activism; privacy and surveillance; and the regulation and governance of cyberspace. As research in and around politics and the Internet flourishes as never before, this new four-volume collection from Routledge's acclaimed Critical Concepts in Political Science series meets the need for an authoritative reference work to make sense of a rapidly growing--and ever more complex--corpus of literature. Edited by William H. Dutton, Director of the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), the collection gathers foundational and canonical work, together with innovative and cutting-edge applications and interventions. With a full index and comprehensive bibliographies, together with a new introduction by the editor, which places the collected material in its historical and intellectual context, Politics and the Internet is an essential work of reference. The collection will be particularly useful as a database allowing scattered and often fugitive material to be easily located. It will also be welcomed as a crucial tool permitting rapid access to less familiar--and sometimes overlooked--texts. For researchers, students, practitioners, and policy-makers, it is a vital one-stop research and pedagogic resource. Full Product DetailsAuthor: William H.
