It meticulously illustrates how the Internet is responsible for citizens' participation practices from being general, high-threshold, temporally constricted, and dependent on physical presence to being topic-centered, low-threshold, temporally discontinuous, and independent from physical presence. With its ethnographic focus on Icelandic and German online participation tools Betri Reykjavi?k and LiquidFriesland, the book offers plentiful advice for citizens, programmers, politicians, and administrations alike on how to get the most out of online participation formats. 410 0$aDigitale Gesellschaft 606 $aE-Democracy; E-Government; E-Governance; Digital Ethnography; Protest; Social Movements; Iceland; Germany; Reykjavi?k; Friesland; Liquid Democracy; Citizen Participation; Direct Democracy; Civil Society; Internet; Politics; Digital Media; Cultural Anthropology; Sociology of Media; Political Science; 610 $aCitizen Participation. 610 $aCivil Society. 610 $aCultural Anthropology. 610 $aDigital Ethnography. 610 $aDigital Media. 610 $aDirect Democracy. 610 $aE-Governance. 610 $aE-Government. 610 $aFriesland. 610 $aGermany. 610 $aIceland. 610 $aInternet. 610 $aLiquid Democracy. 610 $aPolitical Science. 610 $aPolitics. 610 $aProtest. 610 $aReykjavík. 610 $aSocial Movements. 610 $aSociology of Media. 615 4$aE-Democracy; E-Government; E-Governance; Digital Ethnography; Protest; Social Movements; Iceland; Germany; Reykjavi?k; Friesland; Liquid Democracy; Citizen Participation; Direct Democracy; Civil Society; Internet; Politics; Digital Media; Cultural Anthropology; Sociology of Media; Political Science; 676 $a320.9491202854678 686 $aMD 6500$2rvk 700 $aTiemann-Kollipost$b Julia$4aut$0926264 712 02$aStiftung der Deutschen Wirtschaft, Graduiertenschule für Geisteswissenschaften Göttingen$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996344225803316 996 $aPolitical Participation in the Digital Age$92079821 997 $aUNISA
