ABSTRACT

So far, the Internet has been hailed as an instrument useful for facilitating political participation. A classic question arises: is this confirmed today? and if it is, how does this occur? This panel aims to address these questions, reflecting upon how the Internet is used to practice politics. The panel will propose empirical examples to investigate how the Internet both facilitates existing forms of political engagement and how it promotes new forms.
