The International Journal of E-Politics (IJEP) provides a critical forum that discusses the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) as it applies to global politics, in both the government and societal sense, and the implications of its use. Not only does it explore the applications of ICTs for efficiency within political offices, it also discerns their use for facilitating discourse between state officials and citizens. The journal also expands to investigate social media and apps that can promote citizen engagement and the ways that these technologies can both stimulate and hinder political progress. With a focus on government, business, environmental, and media politics, and the myriad ways in which they intersect with information technology, this journal considers such aspects of e-politics as social responsibility, campaigning, election strategies and interference, online engagement, cultural/context sensitivity, cultural studies, ethics, and more.
