I'm about to write an assignment on e-activism for my master's degree, and I'm out looking for possible topics. Does anyone know of any interesting articles or web sites covering the subject? regards, Marius Johannessen student, msc information systems university of Agder
Here's some references that were posted earlier on this list, many with a SE Asian perspective, but there would be plenty here to get going with. This literature review would be particularly helpful (Garrett) and Jenny Pickerill has done much more recent work in this area. --- Marius Johannessen <marius80@gmail.com> wrote:
