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 recent US presidential campaigns); electronic voting and other citizen participation; activism; privacy and surveillance; and the regulation and governance of cyberspace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith 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, \u003cem\u003ePolitics and the Internet\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45236468613271,"sku":"9780415561501","price":87156.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780415561501.webp?v=1769213158","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/politics-and-the-internet-9780415561501","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
