Description
Digital Technology and Democratic Politics explores how digital technology has impacted liberal democracies. This book examines three key aspects of democratic politics: political communication, political participation, and policy-making. It discusses how digital technology affects the entire political process, influencing information flow among citizens and politicians, public awareness of policy responses to societal problems. The impact of digital technology is a subject of ongoing research debate, with areas of consensus and unresolved questions identified. A key perspective involves issue definition, where the nature of problems raised by digital technology is subject to political contestation. This book provides insight into these issues and their implications for democratic politics. By understanding how digital technology shapes democratic processes, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between citizens, politicians, and policy-makers in modern democracies.
