Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to evaluate the impact of cyberspace, the blogosphere on political autonomy and political participation. The cyberspace and the blogosphere have had a role to play in political autonomy and participation for as long as the internet has existed. The internet gives one a worldwide broadcasting capability. It is a mechanism for dissemination of information and a medium of collaboration and interaction between people irrespective of where they are situated in the world. Cyberspace and blogosphere are part of the bigger picture that is the internet.
