DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP AND POLITICAL ENGAGEMENT - ...

This book considers the radical effects the emergence of social media and digital politics have
had on the way that advocacy organisations mobilise and organise citizens into political
participation. It argues that these changes are due not only to technological advancement but
are also underpinned by hybrid media systems  new political narratives  and a new networked
generation of political actors. The author empirically analyses the emergence and consolidation
within advanced democracies of online campaigning organisations  such as MoveOn  38 Degrees 
Getup and AVAAZ. Vromen shows that they have become leading political advocates  and
influential on both national and international level governance. The book critically engages
with this digital disruption of traditional patterns of political mobilisation and organisation
and highlights the challenges in embracing new ideas such as entrepreneurialism and
issue-driven politics. It will be of interest to advanced students and scholars in political
participation and citizen politics  interest groups  civil society organisations  e-government
and politics and social media.
