Information Society and Transformation of Politics: The Impact of New Modes of Communication

The author examines how new modes of communication, provided by new information and communications technologies, are transforming the political systems of contemporary societies. This includes identifying the main characteristics of a new communication paradigm and its influence on the structural changes in modern societies, particularly the changes in civil society, participation and social capital. The author then turns to exploring the changes at three levels of a political system: the “input” stage, the “output” stage, and the stage of political (decision making) process. Finally, the author discuses some global implications of the new modes of communication and considers the nature of its relationship with global democracy building processes.
