Some of the issues explored in Cybering Democracy include the following:
- How space is political and how politics is spatial
- The role of the body in politics and citizenship
- Whether theorists of direct democracy have adequately shown why it matters if citizens can meet face to face
- The ambivalent roles of anonymity and visibility, respectively, in (1) protecting individual liberty and (2) democracy and collective action
- Precisely how cyberspace is spatial and whether it can contribute to a new theory and practice of democracy
- The role of space in social change
- The history and architecture of the Internet and characteristics of its online ethics and communities
Following this, I will be blogging occasionally on these related topics:
