Victoria Carty

Wired and Mobilizing (eBook, ePUB)

Social Movements, New Technology, and Electoral Politics

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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.
