Summary

Professor Arterton presents systematic empirical research on whether direct citizen participation -- voting, interest groups and community organizations -- can be successfully mobilized through the electronic media. He examines thirteen political experiments that used communication technologies to facilitate political participation. Teledemocracy offers a new approach to political communication by emphasizing participation rather than behaviour. The book reviews the relationship between the communications revolution and the political process -- especially democratic theory.
