Social Media, Parties, and Political Inequalities

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the transformative effects of social media on politics in established democracies, the authors analyze how these platforms shift power dynamics within and between political parties. They propose a general theory supported by a detailed case study of the Netherlands, alongside comparisons to the US and other European democracies. The book also addresses the implications for local and European politics, highlighting the often-neglected impacts on women and ethnic minorities, revealing a complex landscape of equalization and normalization in political engagement.
