Digital technologies, social media platforms, and artificial intelligence are reshaping political communication, mobilisation, radicalisation, and democratic contestation. Digital environments create new opportunities for political participation, while also facilitating the diffusion of extremist content, conspiracy narratives, disinformation, and political violence. This section welcomes contributions examining the relationship between digital technologies and democracy across a wide range of ideological contexts. Topics may include online mobilisation, platform governance, recruitment and radicalisation, digital activism, content moderation, regulation, and digital interventions to counter extremism and political violence.
