Political Campaigning and Activism in the Information Age

By IGI Global on May 5, 2014
By Ashu M. G. Solo, Maverick Technologies America Inc., USA

Technology and particularly the Internet have caused many changes in the realm of politics. Aspects of engineering, computer science, mathematics, or natural science can be applied to politics. Politicians and candidates use their own Web sites and social network profiles to get their message out. 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. 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.

Political Campaigning in the Information AgePolitical Campaigning in the Information Age, edited by Ashu M. G. Solo and published by IGI Global, includes 20 research chapters from 33 researchers at universities and research institutions in 15 countries on different aspects of political campaigning and political communications with information technology, engineering, computer science, or math. This book strongly increases our understanding of methods for political campaigning and political communications in the information age, the effectiveness of these methods, and tools for analyzing these methods.

Political Activism in the Information AgeHandbook of Research on Political Activism in the Information Age, also edited by Ashu M. G. Solo and published by IGI Global, includes 25 research chapters from 39 researchers at universities and research institutions in 15 countries on different aspects of political activism with information technology, engineering, computer science, or math. This book strongly increases our understanding of methods for political activism in the information age, the effectiveness of these methods, and tools for analyzing these methods.

The prospective audience for these books includes, but is not limited to, researchers, political campaign managers and staff, politicians and their staff, political operatives, political and public policy analysts, political scientists, engineers, computer scientists, journalists, professors, students, and individuals working in the fields of politics, e-politics, e-government, new media and communication studies, and Internet marketing.

Researchers and political operatives will be particularly interested in these books to gain a better understanding of methods for political activism in the information age, political campaigning and political communications in the information age, the effectiveness of these methods, or tools for analyzing these methods. Researchers will be interested in these books for research ideas and to build upon the research presented in their own research. Political operatives will be interested in these books to learn how to increase the effectiveness of their political campaigns and political communications. Both of these publications are also included in the Advances in Human and Social Aspects of Technology (AHSAT) Book Series For more information on these titles, view the Political Campaigning In The Information Age And Political Activism In The Information Age press release.
