/Abstract/
The Internet has multiplied the platforms available to influence
public opinion and policy making. It has also provided citizens with a
greater capacity for coordination and mobilisation, which can
strengthen their voice and representation in the policy agenda. As
waves of protest sweep both authoritarian regimes and liberal
democracies, this rapidly developing field calls for more detailed
enquiry. However, research exploring the relationship between online
mobilisation and policy change is still limited. This special issue of
'Policy and Internet' addresses this gap through a variety of
perspectives. Contributions to this issue view the Internet both as a
tool that allows citizens to influence policy making, and as an object
of new policies and regulations, such as data retention, privacy, and
copyright laws, around which citizens are mobilising. Together, these
articles offer a comprehensive empirical account of the interface
between online collective action and policy making.
