Digital Political Participation, Social Networks and Big Data
This book explores the changes in political communication in light of the development of a public opinion mediated by web 2.0 technologies. One of the most important changes in political communication is related to the process of disintermediation, i.e. the process by which digital technologies allow citizens to compete in the public space with those agents who, traditionally, co-opted public opinion. However, while disintermediation has undeniably generated a number of advances, having linked citizens to the public debate, the authors highlight some aspects where disintermediation is moving away from a rational and inclusive public space. They argue that these aspects, related to the immediacy, polarization and incivility of the communication, obscure the possibilities for democratization of digital political communication.
Empowering Open and Collaborative Governance
The use of information and communication technologies to support public administrations, governments and decision makers has been recorded for more than 20 years and dubbed e-Government. Moving towards open governance roadmaps worldwide, electronic participation and citizen engagement stand out as a new domain, important both for decision makers and citizens; and over the last decade, there have been a variety of related pilot projects and innovative approaches. With contributions from leading researchers, Charalabidis and Koussouris provide the latest research findings such as theoretical foundations, principles, methodologies, architectures, technical frameworks, cases and lessons learnt w...

The Robotics Divide
Societies survive in their environment and compete with each other depending on the technology they develop. Economic, military and political power are directly related to the available technology, while access to technology is key to the well-being of our societies at the individual, community and national level. The Robotics Divide analyzes how robotics will shape our societies in the twenty-first century; a time when industrial and service robotics, particularly for military and aerospace purposes, will become an essential technology. The book, written by experts in the field, focuses on the main technological trends in the field of robotics, and the impact that robotics will have on diff...
Debates for the Digital Age
By evaluating the Internet's impact on key cultural issues of the day, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the seismic technological and cultural shifts the Internet has created in contemporary society. Books about Internet culture usually focus on the people, places, sites, and memes that constitute the "cutting-edge" at the time the book is written. That approach, alas, renders such volumes quickly obsolete. This provocative work, on the other hand, focuses on overarching themes that will remain relevant for the long term. The insights it shares will highlight the tremendous impact of the Internet on modern civilization—and individual lives—well after specific players and si...
The Oxford Handbook of Political Participation
"The Oxford Handbook of Political Participation provides readers with up-to-date knowledge on the wide-ranging topics covered in this field and considers the key theoretical and methodological pluralism in the area as well the most recent developments. One of the aims of this Handbook is to bring together two research traditions from political science and sociology, bridging research in political sociology and social movement studies. Accordingly, the Handbook mainly brings together authors coming from both the politics and sociology research traditions, as well as key authors working on political participation coming also from other fields such as psychology, economics, anthropology, and ge...
Ciudadanía digital

Ciudadanos y democracia representativa: ¿una relación conflictiva? Análisis de la desconfianza en las instituciones en España
El objetivo de este trabajo es comprender si la desconfianza que experimentan hoy en día los ciudadanos, junto con las peticiones que de ella se originan, representa una amenaza para la democracia representativa. A nivel teórico, la presente investigación se fundamenta en la diferencia entre soporte político específico y difuso. A partir de ahí se ha querido profundizar en cómo los factores de orden estructural (crisis económica, corrupción, cambio en el PIB y desigualdad) afectan a la desconfianza y, a través de esta, al descontento con el funcionamiento de la democracia (apoyo específico). Todo ello sin llegar a tener un impacto en los niveles de apoyo al régimen democrático (...
