Review of 'Innovations in Participatory Politics' by B. Loader and D. Mercea, eds.
Brian Loader and Dan Mercea rally a group of political/social/media scientists to shed light on social media and democracy.

Current developments in democracy are investigated, in recent Internet contexts, more or less in the context of social media.
