Preface
Social media have the potential to contribute to realizing the main democratic values and paving the way for transition to a new understanding of politics. Social media have become a new breath for representative democracy and politics. It is accepted that social media tools offer some innovative opportunities to overcome the democratic legitimacy crisis and strengthen the functioning of politics. Social media with its interactive nature offer opportunities for political actors and governments at all levels. In this context, this edited book aims to analyze how social media impact democracy and politics at the subnational level in both developed and developing countries.
