Call for Chapters: Politics in the Information Age, Springer,
Deadline of Apr. 30, 2012
It would be appreciated if you could forward this call for chapters to
anyone who might be interested.
Web site: http://polnetics.com
Politics in the Information Age is a set of book volumes being
published by Springer Science+Business Media, LLC (Springer) and being
edited by Ashu M. G. Solo and Jonathan Bishop. We are now taking
submissions of full chapters for review with or without prior chapter
proposal submissions. However, if you want to know if a chapter is
relevant to our book volumes, you can send us a short abstract for our
evaluation first, but you can directly submit chapters for review now
too.
Purpose of Politics in the Information Age Set of Book Volumes to be
Published by Springer
Technology and particularly the Internet have brought about many
changes in the realm of politics. Recent revolutions in many
countries in the Middle East and North Africa have started in large
part due to social networking Web sites like Facebook and Twitter.
Social networking has also played a role in protests and riots in
numerous countries. The whistleblower Web site Wikileaks has had a
tremendous impact in exposing government corruption. Politicians and
candidates use their own Web sites and social networking profiles to
get their message out. The mainstream media no longer has a monopoly
on political commentary as anybody can set up a blog or post a video
online. Political activists can network together online. Voting is
often done using electronic voting machines, which has created many
problems. In the future, voting will likely be done over the
Internet, but there are many issues that need to be worked out.
Internet freedom and equal access are important issues that have many
facets. The Internet offers the means for greater citizen input and
interaction in government political processes. These kinds of issues
will be studied in the research book volumes Politics in the
Information Age being edited by A. M. G. Solo and J. Bishop and being
published by Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
