Electronic Democracy analyses the impact of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) within representative democracy, such as political parties, pressure groups, new social movements and executive and legislative bodies. Arguing for the validity of social perspective in theory building, it examines how representative democracies are adapting to new ICTs. It features a number of comparative studies focusing on the UK, the US, Sweden, Germany, Korea and Australia.

This handbook draws on multidisciplinary insights and the experiences of academics and campaign practitioners to provide a comprehensive guide and introduction to planning, implementing and measuring public information and communication campaigns. It outlines the basic theoretical approaches and provides practical examples from a variety of both national and international information and communication campaigns within and across Europe. Public opinion information and campaign strategies in a recent American state election campaign are used to contrast the different perspectives and experiences in the United States.

The handbook concludes by demonstrating how to measure effects, causality and public opinion change to determine what the campaign accomplished. A helpful summary and checklist for the student and practitioner using survey research is provided at the end.

This book focuses on the implementation of digital strategies in the public sectors in the US, Mexico, Brazil, India and Germany. The case studies presented examine different digital projects by looking at their impact as well as their alignment with their national governments’ digital strategies. The contributors assess the current state of digital government, analyze the contribution of digital technologies in achieving outcomes for citizens, discuss ways to measure digitalization and address the question of how governments oversee the legal and regulatory obligations of information technology. The book argues that most countries formulate good strategies for digital government, but do not effectively prescribe and implement corresponding policies and programs. Showing specific programs that deliver results can help policy makers, knowledge specialists and public-sector researchers to develop best practices for future national strategies.

Mehr als 25 Jahre nach Erscheinen des letzten Überblicksbandes zur Politischen Soziologie fasst das als Sammelband angelegte Studienbuch den aktuellen Forschungsstand der Politischen Soziologie im Schnittbereich von Politikwissenschaft und Soziologie zusammen. Ausgewiesene Forscherinnen und Forscher geben einen Einblick in die theoretisch-konzeptionellen Grundlagen und Fortentwicklungen der zentralen Subdisziplinen der Politischen Soziologie, zum Beispiel der Werte- und Einstellungsforschung, der Wahl- und Parteiensoziologie, der Parlamentarismus- sowie politischen Partizipations- und Kommunikationsforschung. Der profunde Überblick über grundlegende Begriffe, Konzepte und Analyseinstrumentarien wird nicht nur um empirische Befunde ergänzt. Der Band bietet zudem eine Übersicht über die Analyse- und Forschungsdesigns der Politischen Soziologie, ihre zentralen Forschungsmethoden und verwendbaren Datengrundlagen. Unter besonderer Berücksichtigung neu konzipierter und noch entstehender BA- und MA-Studiengänge ist der Band ein unverzichtbares Studienbuch in einem wichtigen Bereich der Politikwissenschaft.

Diese Studie untersucht erstmals den gesamten Markt für Politikberatung, sowohl das Angebot als auch die Nachfrage, und fragt danach, wie sich die Chancen der Beratung in der Zukunft entwickeln werden."Ist Politikberatung also ein Wachstumsmarkt? Spüren wir eine nachhaltige Veränderung seit dem Beginn der Berliner Republik? Die Auswertungen verschiedenster Quellen haben deutlich gemacht, dass Politikberatung ein Faktor im politischen System ist, den man unter keinen Umständen unterschätzen darf".
