Rebooting American Politics - The Internet Revolution

Informationen zum Autor Jason B. Gainous is assistant professor at University of Louisville. Kevin M. Wagner is Associate Director of the Jack Miller Forum at Florida Atlantic University. Klappentext Going beyond theory and guess based forecasts; this book systematically explores and measures the implications of the growing use of the internet in the American political landscape.
