> Democratic politics worldwide are increasingly being conducted and
> re-configured through the domain of digital communications networks.
> The
> socio-technical developments, such as Web 2.0, facilitating these
> media-saturated public spheres are in little doubt. What is highly
> contested however is the interpretation of what these profound changes
> offer for democratic governance in the twenty-first century. At its
> heart is the recognition that these new media networks are themselves
> the crucial site for a historical confrontation between opposing
> political and/or business interests and discourses intent upon forging
> new forms of social relations.
>
> We will address questions such as:
>
> What new forms and relations of power are produced in the digital
> network society?
>
> Who are the key social actors shaping the new public sphere and what
> are
> their respective strategies, framing, and repertoires of action?
>
> What is the democratic potential of Web 2.0 applications such as
> social
> networking, blogging and twittering?
>
> What empirical evidence do we have to understand and assess these
> developments?
>
> How is networked democracy influencing new democratic societies?
>
> What are its consequences for human rights, social sorting, migration,
> e-government, community politics, surveillance, protest,
> participation,
> culture, identity, mobilization, representation, nationalism,
> security,
> citizen journalism, trust, regulation, both exogenous and
> self-regulation and much more?
