Book Description:

Relations between the public and political figures are in a period of flux. New expectations and meanings of citizenship are being entertained and acted upon in combination with an inexorable impoverishment of mainstream political communication . The Internet has the potential to improve public communications and enrich democracy, a project that requires imaginative policy-making.
