Opinion regulation or civic dialogue? Seeking new theoretical frameworks for the study of digital politics
Journal Title: ESSACHESS - Journal for Communication Studies - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
This article centers on the theoretical articulation of scientific studies examining interactions between different civic, political and economic actors implicated in discussions or informal exchanges among citizens on political parties’ social network sites (SNS). To come to a broader understanding of this phenomenon in western democracies, this text intends to contribute to the development of new, more nuanced, interdisciplinary, and generalizable analytical frameworks.
