A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

From the rise of cyberbullying and hactivism to the issues surrounding online privacy rights and freedom of speech, the digital world is changing the ways in which we govern and are governed as citizens. This book examines the ways in which citizens throughout the world engage with the new sorts of rights, duties, opportunities and challenges that they encounter and perform as political agents online. By disrupting the prevailing understandings of the concepts of citizenship and cyberspace, the authors highlight the dynamic interface between these elements rather than assuming one or the other as static or established facts . In doing so, the book demonstrates that the confluences and differences between conducting ourselves in local, transnational and cyber spaces are creating the need for a new theoretical framework to understand political citizenship today.
