Networked Politics is the product of a collaborative research process for rethinking political organisation in an age of movements and networks. It examines the role of social movements, progressive parties, political institutions and new "techno-political tools" in achieving transformative change. In this seminar reader the authors set out the principles upon which such transformations should be based, and the challenges that stand in the way of their realisation.
