Publisher Description:
In today's globalized world, the internet plays a vital role in the social order and specifically in politics. Mainstream media no longer holds a monopoly on political commentary due to the rise of online networking. Revolutions across the world have been ignited by the spread of information through technology, and policymakers are flummoxed about how to prepare for political activism in this period of social computing. The Handbook of Research on Politics in the Computer Age is an essential reference source that discusses the role of the internet and social networks in facilitating public engagement in politics, rights, and policy, as well as their linkage to international revolutions. Featuring research on topics such as whistleblowing, parliamentary informatics, and online vigilantism, this book is ideally designed for activists, politicians, public policy engineers, analysts, policymakers, government officials, academicians, researchers, and students seeking coverage on social activism in today's technologically-driven world.
