Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
In the wake of the Howard Dean campaign, digital technologies are changing not only the way politics is conducted, but also political institutions themselves. This book synthesizes the rapidly growing literature from both media studies and political science that looks at how political actors are seeking to use, and regulate the use of, technologies. Chadwick examines some of the key questions in the matter: has the 'information age' caused a fundamental shift in global politics? Has the Internet reconfigured the relationships between states, and between citizens and states? The book's approach is comparative and includes pedagogy such as chapter summaries, boxes with key facts and quotations, case studies, and a brief guide to the best Web resources available to the topic at hand.
MoreLong description:
In the developed world, there is no longer an issue of whether the Internet affects politics--but how, why and with what consequences. With the Internet now spreading at a breathtaking rate in the developing world, the new medium is fraught with tensions, paradoxes, and contradictions. How do we make sense of these? In this major new work, Andrew Chadwick addresses such concerns, providing the first comprehensive overview of Internet politics.
Internet Politics examines the impact of new communication technologies on political parties and elections, pressure groups, social movements, local democracy, public bureaucracies, and global governance. It also analyzes persistent and controversial policy problems, including the digital divide; the governance of the Internet itself; the tensions between surveillance, privacy and security; and the political economy of the Internet media sector. The approach is explicitly comparative, providing numerous examples from the U.S., Britain, and many other countries. Written in a clear and accessible style, this theoretically sophisticated and up-to-date text reveals the key difference the Internet makes in how we "do" politics and how we "think about" political life.
Featuring numerous figures, tables, and text boxes, Internet Politics is ideal for undergraduate and graduate courses in political science, international relations, and communication studies.
"Well researched, timely and readable... manages to impress both in its scope and its depth... Internet Politics should be required reading for anyone attempting to understanding the way in which the Internet affects our lives." - Dr Mathias Klang, University of Göteborg, in Journal of Information, Communication & Ethics in Society 5 (1), 2007.
