This fascinating and well written book examines the ways in which digital campaigning and advocacy have developed over the past decade or so, through a close examination of novel types of advocacy organisations,...Hall brings to this work new questions for International Relations (ir) scholars who wish to interrogate the practices and power of contemporary forms of online mass activism...Hall clearly delimits the empirical boundaries of this book and highlights the need to examine different political contexts and marginal groups, which is also the subject of a growing literature.
