Crowdsourced Politics: The Rise of Online Petitions & Micro-Donations
Autor Ariadne Vromen, Darren Halpin, Michael Vaughanen Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 aug 2022
To illustrate their arguments the authors use an original nationally representative survey on acts of political engagement, undertaken with Australian citizens. Additionally, through detailed interviews and analysis of their web presence they show how advocacy organisations use online petitions within their repertoire of strategic actions. Lastly, they analyse the kinds of policy issues that mobilise citizens on crowdsourcing platforms, based on a unique dataset of 17,000 petitions from the popular non-government platform, Change.org. They contrast these mass public concerns with the policy agenda of the government of the day to show there is a disjuncture and general lack of responsiveness to this form of citizen expression.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
“Crowdsourced Politics provides a clear-eyed, accessible, and very needed analysis of one of the most important civic and political phenomenons of the twenty-first century: crowd-based online mobilization. We’ve all seen it but few can understand it or help us make sense of it in the way this book does.”
—Hahrie Han, Stavros Niarchos Foundation Professor of Political Science, Director of the SNF Agora Institute, Johns Hopkins University
“The crowdsourcing of politics - whether it be e-petitions or micro-donations - has become a key area of action, contestation, and debate, impacting how politics and civic life operates. Discussions veer from outright hype to dystopian doom, indifference and disdain. Written by leading scholars in the field, this book cuts through unhelpful dichotomies by analysing what is happening, how and to what effect.”
-Scott Wright, Professor of Political Communication and Journalism, Faculty of Media & Communication, Bournemouth University
This book focuses on online petitioning and crowdfunding platforms to demonstrate the everyday impact that digital communications have had on contemporary citizen participation. It argues that crowdsourced participation has become normalised and institutionalised into the repertoires of citizens and their organisations. To illustrate their arguments the authors use an original survey on acts of political engagement, undertaken with Australian citizens. Through detailed interviews and online analysis they show how advocacy organisations now use online petitions for strategic interventions and mobilisation. They also analyse the policy issues that mobilise citizens on crowdsourcing platforms, including a unique dataset of 17,000 petitions from the popular non-government platform, Change.org. Contrasting mass public concerns with the policy agenda of the government of the day shows there is a disjuncture and lack of responsiveness to crowdsourced citizen expression. Ultimately the book explores the long-term implications of citizen-led change for democracy.
