Description

This book focuses on the impact of digital media use for political engagement across varied geographic and political contexts, using a diversity of methodological approaches and datasets.

The book addresses an important gap in the contemporary literature on digital politics, identifying context dependent and transcendent political consequences of digital media use.

While the majority of the empirical work in this field has been based on studies from the United States and United Kingdom, this volume seeks to place those results into comparative relief with other regions of the world.

It moves debates in this field of study forward by identifying system-level attributes that shape digital political engagement across a wide variety of contexts.

The evidence analyzed across the fifteen cases considered in the book suggests that engagement with digital environments influences users' political orientations and that contextual features play a significant role in shaping digital politics.
