In this course we shall aim to understand how technological shifts invite us to rethink basic concepts in political science. The purpose of this course is to examine how political thought allows us to understand the political reality of democracy in the internet age. To do so, we will raise some fundamental questions in political thought and try to answer them in light of the technological changes we are now experiencing. For instance, what is the meaning of democracy in the digital age? How should we understand the role of political participation over the internet? Or, how does the changing meaning of privacy influences the meaning of democracy? This course will combine both general topics in political theory and particular case studies in order to think again about political concepts which we consider as obvious. At first we will begin by reviewing recent trends in contemporary democratic theory before characterizing the political challenges which democracies face in the 21^st century. Then, we will raise specific issues which shape the relationship between technology and democracy in the internet age and explain them using concepts we already know from political theory.
