This comprehensive collection of studies on networked citizenship covers changes in civic orientations, patterns of media use, modes of participation and organization, socialization and citizenship education, and the emergence of large scale protest. It is the new sourcebook for the field.

W. Lance Bennett, University of Washington, Seattle

The growing disconnect between young people and mainstream politics has been emerging as a central motif in the ongoing dilemmas of democracy, yet has all too often been framed by easy generalisations. This impressive volume charts a much more nuanced course; it rigorously probes the idea of the networked young citizen both conceptually and empirically. The chapters explore the role of social media in relation to the other key factors that shape young peoples evolving political horizonsand in so doing establish a new frontline in our understanding.

Peter Dahlgren, Lund University, Sweden

The Networked Young Citizen

The future engagement of young citizens from a wide range of socio-economic, ethnic and cultural backgrounds in democratic politics remains a crucial concern for academics, policy-makers, civics teachers and youth workers around the world. At a time when the negative relationship between socio-economic inequality and levels of political participation is compounded by high youth unemployment or precarious employment in many countries, it is not surprising that new social media communications may be seen as a means to re-engage young citizens. This edited collection explores the influence of social media, such as YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, upon the participatory culture of young citizens.

This collection, comprising contributions from a number of leading international scholars in this field, examines such themes as the possible effects of social media use upon patterns of political socialization; the potential of social media to ameliorate young peoples political inequality; the role of social media communications for enhancing the civic education curriculum; and evidence for social media manifesting new forms of political engagement and participation by young citizens. These issues are considered from a number of theoretical and methodological approaches but all attempt to move beyond simplistic notions of young people as an undifferentiated category of the internet generation.

Brian D. Loader is Associate-Director of the Science and Technology Studies Unit (SATSU) based at the University of York, UK.

He is General Editor of the international journal Information, Communication and Society and has published extensively in this field. Recent books include Cyberprotest: New Media, Citizens and Social Movements (Routledge, 2004); Young Citizens in the Digital Age (Routledge, 2007); Digital Welfare for the Third Age (Routledge, 2008).

Edited by Kenneth Rogerson, Duke University and Laura Roselle, Elon University

International communication encompasses everything from one-to-one cross-cultural interactions to the global reach of a broad range of information and communications technologies and processes. Routledge Studies in Global Information, Politics and Society celebratesand embraces this depth and breadth. To completely understand communication, it must be studied in concert with many factors, since, most often, it is the foundational principle on which other subjects rest. This series provides a publishing space for scholarship in the expansive, yet intersecting, categories of communication and information processes and other disciplines.
