Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:

Product Description
To provide a comprehensive evaluation of the internet in American democracy, Bruce Bimber sets the contemporary information revolution in historical context, asserting that past developments in American history offer important lessons for understanding how the internet is affecting politics. He examines how citizens and organizations use it for political purposes and is especially interested as to whether new technology is making Americans more engaged in their government. This study about the internet and politics combines historical and survey analysis with case studies of political events.

• Excellent In Combination

13 October, 2005

I plan to use this book in combination with a traditional MIS textbook in an undergraduate course in a political science/public administration setting. It is clearly written and addresses not only information but also complexity in the design of government systems. I think this book is a rare and valuable resource that will spark a lot of discovery and discussion in class among my students.
