The Rise of Clickocracy: Politics for a Digital Age

In the midst of one of the greatest technological revolutions mankind has ever experienced, the way we engage with politics is undergoing a fundamental change. It is a change that has the potential to revitalise the democratic sentiments of an apathetic public. Digital media are transforming the way we interact with political campaigns, lobby our elected officials, strive for accountable government, and even how we conduct revolutions - for better and for worse. The legacy of our fledgling 'clickocracy' is yet to be fully determined, but by examining the individuals and organisations at the forefront of it, we can chart both its progress and its potential as catalyst for a new breed of democracy fit for the 21st century.
