Studies of election campaigns have shown an increased employment of websites, weblog tools, email, and social media by political campaigners, as well as the use of similar platforms by citizens to find information, communicate about elections or engage more generally in political issues. This comprehensive volume explores the ways in which social media is used on the one hand as a campaigning tool, and on the other, by local citizens. It aims to develop a more holistic and Eurocentric research agenda by capturing both supply and demand practices at the European level. The authors employ both single and multination case studies, furthering debates on how political actors and voters embrace the new information and communication environment, in what ways, and for what purposes. The book offers new perspectives on social media campaigning within European democracies, thereby contributing to a more global and comprehensive understanding of how campaigning is affected, and might be enhanced, by developing an interactive digital strategy.This book will be of great interest to students of both politics and media studies. It was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Information Technology & Politics.

This book discusses the implications of recent innovations in information and communication technology for civic and political engagement. The international mix of contributions offers insights across a broad spectrum of studies into the form of engagement: explaining the reasons, incentives and motivations for engaging, and the different forms and levels of engagement; contrasting traditional and non-traditional forms of engagement and how they interlink; and asking why people utilize or avoid certain forms of engagement.It is a must-read for any scholar interested in the impact of social media on citizens’ propensity to get involved in political actions. It depicts the role that parties, organizations and peers play in mobilizing or demobilizing others and how online behaviour can act as a springboard into what might be called real-world politics. The book gathers together prominent scholars, who offer their understanding of social and political phenomena and give theoretical and empirical insights into the highly complex questions around political participation in the digital age. This book was originally published as a special issue of Political Communication.

What is a democracy? Why do we form democratic systems? Can democracy survive in an age of distrust and polarisation?The Psychology of Democracy explains the psychological underpinnings behind why people engage with and participate in politics. Covering the influence that political campaigns and media play, the book analyses topical and real-world political events including the Arab Spring, Brexit, Black Lives Matter, the US 2020 elections and the Covidd-19 pandemic. Lilleker and Ozgul take the reader on a journey to explore the cognitive processes at play when engaging with a political news item all the way through to taking to the streets to protest government policy and action. In an age of post-truth and populism, The Psychology of Democracy shows us how a strong and healthy democracy depends upon the feelings and emotions of its citizens, including trust, belonging, empowerment and representation, as much as on electoral processes.

Who were the British MPs sympathetic to the Soviets - the 'crypto-communists' 'left-wing gadflys', the 'neo-Stalinist left' so derided by fellow politicians, journalists, historians and the public? These Labour MPs, fingered as 'Soviet spies' who developed links with post-war Russia, were seen as potentially anti-Western actors in the Cold War. "Against the Cold War" examines the careers and motives of MPs like Tom Driberg and Ian Mikardo who developed ideological links with the Soviet Union and whose ideas influenced Labour's left-wing. Although radical and sympathetic to Communist ideals, they remained principled socialists, and were ready to exercise Trotsky's 'right to alight'- to oppose and even abandon Soviet links for democratic socialism.

This volume explores the national election campaigns across the nations of sub-Saharan Africa. Sub-Saharan Africa is important in a number of ways. Democracy in this region is fragile, fraught with corruption and election outcomes thus open to contestation. The rule of law also tends to be fragile and highly politicized, and where societies are polarized can lead to minorities being subjugated by a majority. Hence the way elections are conducted, their outcomes and how communication flows through the nation’s networks are crucial questions for understanding the cultures of these societies. Secondly, many societies are divided along ethno-religious lines as well as cleavages emerging between generations. In terms of the latter, populations are increasingly younger, more technology literate and less wedded to traditional ethno-religious cleavages. Similarly, women are increasingly assertive regarding their proscribed position in societies and are developing their own models for activism. How these cleavages are reflected within the election campaigns and the extent to which they are being impacted by demographic changes within these countries is important for understanding the trajectory that sub-Saharan African nations are on in terms of their democratic culture. Thirdly, social media has become an important tool for both political communication as well as the flow of information across civil society and the broader citizenry. Therefore, key questions need to be asked about the integrity of the information environment and the extent that disinformation, from political party leaders and candidates, from civil society or from external actors, impacts the election.
