Description

Computer communication technologies, such as the Internet, are now integral to many democratic public spheres throughout the world. The often-asked question is how they impact upon the democratic process. Using several real world examples and the deliberative democracy theories of Rawls, Habermas, and Dryzek, this article-length book looks at how communication technology has influenced the political process and the effect it has had upon citizen power.
