Cultural, Social, and Political Participation in the Internet Era
Measuring and Fostering Engagement, Lawfulness and Inclusion in the Networked Society
This open access book examines how digital transformation reshapes civic life, inclusion, and democratic resilience. Integrating economics, sociology, political science, and management, it explores cultural, social, and political participation in the digital age. Innovative methods—such as expenditure-satisfaction models, statistical matching, and multidimensional indices—measure participation and its links to socio-economic conditions. Further chapters address organized crime’s impact on civic engagement and the social reuse of confiscated assets, alongside entrepreneurial education and migrant inclusion. Combining theory, empirical evidence, and applied research, the book offers actionable insights for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to foster inclusion and democratic renewal in contemporary societies.
