The Internet, Democracy and Democratization
The Internet is transforming relations between states and citizens. This study gives examples of how it is creating new political communities at various levels, both in democracies and authoritarian regimes. It is also used by marginalized anti-democratic groups such as neo-Nazis.
The Alsatian Bieber (Beaver) Clan: German - American Educational and Mainline Protestant Leaders of Pennsylvania, North Carolina, the Midwest, and Beyond
The Alsatian Bieber/Beaver clan has contributed significantly to the creation and leadership of over sixty educational and Mainline Protestant institutions in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, the Midwest, and beyond - many of which continue to serve their communities, generation after generation. Past publications have mentioned individual Bieber/Beaver ministers and educators, but this is the first effort to compile their stories collectively, from the 1700’s to the present. This work recognizes such leaders’ roles in building and sustaining churches and schools, the community centers of early America. (Received a 2022 Award of Excellence from the North Carolina Society of Historians. Archived by seminaries of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America and recommended by the Concordia Historical Institute of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod.)

From Telecommunications Liberalization to Net Neutrality Rules
EU communications policy has massively changed due to both global competition on the ICT market and technological developments that led to the emergence of Internet technology. This book analyzes the structural and procedural transformation processes inside the EU legislative processes and concludes that EU communications policy struggles to reflect today's internet-enabled communications reality. It provides insights in the institutional conditions that maintained specific patterns of EU communications policy since the beginning of telecommunications regulation and concludes with an outlook on the technological and regulatory challenges ahead.

Superwahljahr 2009
Im Superwahljahr 2009 standen Parteien, Massenmedien und Wähler unter besonderem Kommunikationsstress. Eine Vielzahl von Wahlkampagnen auf kommunaler, regionaler, nationaler und europäischer Ebene wurde seitens der politischen Akteure in enger zeitlicher Abfolge geplant, koordiniert und mit dem Ziel inszeniert, die Wähler zur Stimmabgabe zu mobilisieren. Ihr hauptsächliches Augenmerk legten dabei nicht nur die Parteien auf die Bundestagswahlen im Herbst des Jahres. Die vorgelagerten Wahlen – insbesondere die Europawahlen – schienen dagegen auch für die massenmedialen Beobachter und die meisten Bürger vornehmlich als „Stimmungstest“ zu dienen. Diese seltene zeitliche Nähe von Bundestags- und Europawahlen macht sich der vorliegende Band zunutze, um sich in konsequent vergleichender Perspektive und auf empirischer Grundlage mit den Parteienkampagnen, der Medienberichterstattung und dem Wahlverhalten im Jahr 2009 auseinanderzusetzen. Dabei kommen Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiedlichkeiten, aber vor allem das Ausmaß der wechselseitigen Beeinflussung von Haupt- und Nebenwahlen zum Vorschein.
Das Internet in Wahlkämpfen
Das Internet ist aus Wahlkämpfen in vielen Ländern kaum mehr wegzudenken. Politiker und Kampagnenstäbe setzen das Internet als Wahlkampfinstrument ein. Bürger nutzen das Internet, um sich über Politik zu informieren oder in das politische Geschehen einzugreifen. Obwohl das Internet zum Kampagnenalltag gehört, herrscht vielerorts noch Unsicherheit über Einsatzmöglichkeiten und Wirkungen des Internets in Wahlkämpfen. Der vorliegende Band stellt daher kompakt den aktuellen Stand der Forschung zur Nutzung, Bedeutung und Wirkung des Internets in Wahlkampagnen in den USA und in Deutschland dar. So trägt er zu einem fundierten Verständnis von Wahlkämpfen im Internetzeitalter bei.
