Paolo Gerbaudo looks at the restructuring of political parties and campaigns in the time of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and big data. Drawing on interviews with key political leaders and digital organizers, he argues that the digital party is very different from the class-based \"mass party\" of the industrial era, and offers promising new solutions to social polarization and the failures of liberal democracy today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaolo Gerbaudo \u003c\/b\u003eis lecturer in digital culture and society at King's College London and the author of \u003ci\u003eTweets and the Streets: Social Media and Contemporary Activism\u003c\/i\u003e, also published by Pluto Press. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 15, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51862338273568,"sku":"9780745335803","price":165.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/Lst9b0Jp9N9780745335803.webp?v=1781630269","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/the-digital-party-political-organisation-and-online-democracy-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
