The Web and the 2004 EP election: Comparing political actor Web sites in 11 EU Member States
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study reports on incorporation of the Web during the 2004 European Parliament election as played out in 11 EU Member States. Based on an analysis of Web site features related to a conceptualization of political engagement, the study examines utilization of features reflecting information provision and opportunities for discussion and political action. The findings reflect the low level of importance historically ascribed to European Parliament elections. The study also illustrates the diversity in how the Web was incorporated into this election campaign across the 11 EU Member States, which may be a consequence of the broad range of political cultural and contextual aspects shaping this pan-European event.
