How the Internet Shapes Collective Actions
S. Schumann
Psychology / Personality
After a Facebook rebellion in Egypt and Twitter protests in Turkey, the internet has been proclaimed as a globe-shifting, revolutionizing force that can incite complex social phenomena such as collective actions. This book critically assesses this claim and highlights how internet use can shape mobilizing processes to foster collective actions.
Sandy Schumann is Affiliated Researcher at Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium, and Visiting Post-doctoral Researcher at the Oxford Centre for the Study of Intergroup Conflict, University of Oxford, UK. Her work explores the relation between digital practices and offline behavior, focusing in particular on dynamics of collective actions, as well as radicalization processes on the internet and the benefits of computer-mediated intergroup contact.
