POL515: Politics of Cyberspace

A space is opening up between us. A space that is produced from our use of digital technologies and that is changing the world for those caught up in it. It is redefining our relationships, our society and, as we discover in this unit, our politics. Our politics is changing at the local level, as our interactions and identities come to reflect our digital being. Our politics is changing at the national level, as we experience government and cyber-surveillance.
