- Abstract
- This study examines the effects of Internet use on political participation in East and Southeast Asia. Data came from the Asian Barometer Survey, gathered in two waves: 2005-07 and 2010-11. The results show that Internet use is positively associated with unconventional political participation, while it is not with institutionalized action. Also, the data reveal the mechanism by which the technology influences interpersonal discussion and self-efficacy, in turn leading to participation. Furthermore, Internet use is found to provide mobilizing capacities for those who lack organizational membership as a traditional agent of political action.
