Electronic democracy : using the Internet to influence american politics

Abstract

The Internet's impact on American politics has been nothing short of revolutionary. With a special focus on recent elections, this resource explains the social relevance of online democracy through various case studies. Among the topics explored are the emergence of online voting; how the Internet has drawn youth back into politics and the reinvention of political action; online privacy and how it will affect Internet politics; the common mistakes of Net activists and how to avoid them; and propaganda, hacking, and the dark side of online politics. Plus how the Gore Democrats and the Bush Republicans pushed the Internet envelope during the presidential campaign.
