My research is about the relationship between political institutions and new media, and how the two influence each other. I am especially interested in campaigning politics and the emergence of new modes of participation and organisation. Viewed in this way, it is clear that the internet is changing established institutional forms - such as parties, political broadcasting and election campaigns - but that these alterations are not consistent across national contexts. This argument also contains a normative element, as it allows us to identify the institutional models that are best suited to offering opportunities for citizen participation in the digital era. I have attempted to develop this strand of my work by engaging with the policy community, notably in the Fabian Society pamphlet 'The Change We Need' (2008), which I co-edited. My work until now has tended to focus on the United States and the United Kingdom.
