Algoritharianisms: Technopolitics, Civic Cultures and Populism in the Age of Social Media

Abstract

In our digital era, social media have emerged as key influential factors in policymaking. Social media can engage vast numbers of citizens. As a result, it is of great importance to assess the extent to which they can improve democracy in Europe. The EU-funded Technopolitics project proposes innovative research on the relationship between community engagement, political participation and digital social media in influencing policymaking. Co-chaired and discussed by professors Augusto Jobim (Brazil) and Francisco Sierra (Spain), this proposal brings current innovative and interdisciplinary research of our international network in Technopolitics.
