Journal Title: The Copernicus Journal of Political Studies - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
By making Americans aware of a secret government surveillance program targeting their electronic communications, Edward Snowden intended to kickstart a public debate on the nature of democratic governance. His intentions are likely to hit a wall of indifference. Why? The answer may lie in the American political culture.
