| Description: |
Much more than a simple explanation of where political web sites are and the information they contain, The Web of Politics is an analysis of how the Web has been adapted as a tool for political expression, public opinion measurement, elecitoneering, and policy making. By examining current usage and long-term trends, Davis also addresses and challenges the theoretical assumption that new communications technology translates into a more informed electorate andincreased political participation. |
| Synopsis: |
Is the Internet destined to upset traditional political power in the United States? This book answers with an emphatic "no." Author Richard Davis shows how current political players including candidates, public officials, and the media are adapting to the Internet and assuring that this new medium benefits them in their struggle for power. In doing so he examines the current function of the Internet in democratic politics-educating citizens, conducting electoral campaigns, gauging public opinion, and achieving policy resolution- and the roles of current political actors in those functions. Davis's unconventional prediction concerning the Internet's impact on American politics warrants a closer look by anyone interested in learning how this new communication medium will affect us politically. |
