New Publics
What used to be considered a single public, has become a multitude of publics. In a network society, political debate and political action no longer have their obvious center in parliament, the constitution, a small number of parties, or a relatively few mass media. Public dialogue and participation cut across these classic institutions, presenting them with new challenges as well as possibilities.
The theme is coordinated by Associate Professor Henrik Bang.
