Description

What exactly does politics mean in the age of the Internet? Spatializing International Politics investigates the ways political activists use the Internet to network, mobilize and gather information. In this innovative book, Jayne Rodgers argues that we need to think about ways to bring the politics of transnational activism and information communication technologies, such as the Internet, into our broader interpretative frameworks. Rodgers takes spatial theories drawn from the work of Henri Lefebvre and applies them to real political practices. The book includes case studies of transnational activism in order to examine how individuals, organizations and institutions can be better understood as political actors and address key questions such as: *Does the Internet provide new forms of political practice? *Does this technology really give political power to the disenfranchised? *Does more information mean more politics? This volume is a valuable resource for both scholars of politics seeking an understanding of the role of the Internet and other media in political mobilization, and for those researching global media and communications looking for information on how these technologies are applied in the political arena.
