E-Politics, Globalization and Digitalization of Politics

This book examines how globalization and digitalization transform political participation, media systems, and governance. Addressing topics such as digital activism, media ownership, new nationalism, regionalism, and e-democracy, it offers a critical, interdisciplinary perspective on the evolving political landscape.

In an era shaped by rapid technological change and growing global interdependence, political systems are undergoing deep transformations in how they function and engage with society. As national borders blur and algorithm-driven platforms shape political communication, core concepts like sovereignty, legitimacy, and democratic participation are being redefined. This book explores how digital technologies intersect with political institutions and public discourse through an interdisciplinary lens. Topics include digital political participation, media ownership''s role in shaping opinion, and the emergence of new regional alignments. Concepts such as e-democracy, digital activism, and new nationalism are analyzed within shifting global power structures. The book addresses urgent issues like misinformation, digital authoritarianism, and the erosion of media pluralism, inviting readers to reflect on how societies can adapt - not only technologically, but also ethically and politically.
