Internet va Raftar Siasi dar Iran by Mojtaba Gholipour

Description

The book "Internet and Political Behavior in Iran" by Mojtaba Gholipour examines the impact of the internet and the new media structure that has emerged from it on various aspects of Iranian political behavior. The findings are complex, multidimensional, contextual, and case-specific. The author does not aim to provide a coherent idea to reduce or hide this complexity but instead presents contradictory ideas to highlight the breadth and intensity of this complexity. While the internet can stimulate political participation, support collective action, strengthen social capital, and diversify political behaviors, it can also increase political apathy, lead to social isolation, cause societal polarization, reduce the quality of political engagement, and replace activism with slacktivism. The book emphasizes that it is not possible to take a clear stance on these dualities, as the internet is a flexible, multidimensional technology prone to deep transformations due to its social application, leading to a wide range of potential political-social outcomes.
