Do-It-Yourself Democracy: The Rise of the Public Engagement Industry
Lee, Caroline W. (Associate Professor of Sociology, Associate Professor of Sociology, Lafayette College)
From Facebook campaigns to cellphone polling, citizen participation in politics has increased dramatically in recent years. This book argues that while participatory innovations have democratized the ways in which major institutions operate, they have also been coopted by governments and corporations as effective tools to facilitate cost-cutting, labor control, profitability, and retrenchment.
