New Issue

Policy & Internet

 

http://www.policyandinternet.org

 

Welcome to the last issue of Policy & Internet for 2010! We are pleased to present seven articles, all of which focus on a substantive public policy issue arising from widespread use of the Internet: online political advocacy and petitioning, nationalism and borders online, unintended consequences of the introduction of file-sharing legislation, and the implications of Internet voting and voting advice applications for democracy and political participation. You may access any of the articles below at no charge.

We are looking forward to another great year of articles in 2011. In the meantime, we would like to wish you a wonderful new year from everyone on the editorial team.

About this journal

From the Oxford Internet Institute and the Policy Studies Organization, Policy & Internet is the first major peer-reviewed journal investigating the implications of the Internet and associated technologies for public policy. The Internet is now the most important international medium of communication and information exchange, embedded in interactions between citizens, firms, governments, and NGOs, and bringing with it new practices, norms, and structures. The societal shift enabled by the Internet has major implications for public policy in all sectors, requiring rigorous empirical investigation, theoretical development and methodological innovation across academic disciplines. Policy & Internet will be the premier venue for scholars and researchers to set the public policy agenda in the digital era.
