Handbook of Digital Politics

2nd edition

Elgar Handbooks in Political Science

Edited by Stephen Coleman, Professor of Political Communication and Lone Sorensen, Lecturer of Media and Communication, University of Leeds, UK

This thoroughly revised second edition Handbook examines the latest knowledge and perspectives on digital politics. Leading scholars explore the expansion of digital technologies, channels and styles as it shapes political dynamics.

‘Political processes and digital communication continue to collide and intersect in new and unforeseen ways, and rarely fail to generate crises and controversies, but also hopes and opportunities, as they do so. This magnificent collection takes a timely and sober look at current developments, and offers a comprehensive overview of cutting-edge research in the field.’
– Axel Bruns, Queensland University of Technology, Australia

‘Coleman and Sorenson bring us a comprehensive and nuanced portrait of the role of digital media in politics—broadly understood—from top scholars. This book is essential reading for anyone who seeks enlightenment about the uses, meanings, and effects of the internet and social media on political life.’
