Communicative Civic-Ness

Communicative Civic-ness explores how political culture shapes social media interactions in civic participation, arguing that social media usage is informed by context-specific political culture. Drawing on cutting-edge research, the book provides a robust theoretical and conceptual framework on civic engagement and participation and develops the concept of 'communicative civic-ness' to aid a better-informed debate about the capacity of social media to support the pluralistic discussions that underpin deliberative democratic processes.
