Wired and Mobilizing: Social Movements, New Technology, and Electoral Politics: Routledge Studies in Science, Technology and Society

Autor Victoria Carty
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 sep 2012
This book highlights how online networking offers potential for new forms of activist mobilizing, repertoires, participatory democracy, direct action, fundraising, and civic engagement. It calls for a re-conceptualization of some of the main tenets of contentious and electoral politics, which were originally constructed to describe and analyze face-to-face forms of mobilization, in order to more accurately analyze contemporary forms of protest, electoral processes, and civil society organizing.

Recenzii

"Many people regard the present as a lull in political activism, certainly from the Left, although the Tea Party movement suggests that right-wing social movements are alive and well. This book challenges that assumption and suggests that the focus for organization has shifted to the Internet." Highly Recommended in CHOICE. Review by Y. R. Magrass, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
