Social Media Campaigning in Europe, Paperback / softback Book

Paperback / softback

Description

Studies of election campaigns have shown an increased employment of websites, weblog tools, email, and social media by political campaigners, as well as the use of similar platforms by citizens to find information, communicate about elections or engage more generally in political issues.

This comprehensive volume explores the ways in which social media is used on the one hand as a campaigning tool, and on the other, by local citizens.

It aims to develop a more holistic and Eurocentric research agenda by capturing both supply and demand practices at the European level.

The authors employ both single and multination case studies, furthering debates on how political actors and voters embrace the new information and communication environment, in what ways, and for what purposes.

The book offers new perspectives on social media campaigning within European democracies, thereby contributing to a more global and comprehensive understanding of how campaigning is affected, and might be enhanced, by developing an interactive digital strategy. This book will be of great interest to students of both politics and media studies.

It was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Information Technology & Politics.
