This book highlights how online networking offers potential for new forms of activist mobilising, repertoires, participatory democracy, direct action, fundraising, and civic engagement. It calls for a re-conceptualisation of some of the main tenets of contentious and electoral politics, which were originally constructed to describe and analyse face-to-face forms of mobilisation, in order to more accurately analyse contemporary forms of protest, electoral processes, and civil society organising.

Wired and Mobilizing encourages a fresh look at these concepts to better understand the dynamics of modern activism and political participation.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

"Many people regard the present as a lull in political activism, certainly from the Left, although the Tea Party movement suggests that right-wing social movements are alive and well. This book challenges that assumption and suggests that the focus for organisation has shifted to the Internet." --Highly Recommended in CHOICE, review by Y. R. Magrass, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
