Research on the Internet's role in politics has struggled totranscend technological determinism - the assumption, often inadvertent,that the technology simply imprints its own logic on social relationships.An alternative approach traces the ways, often numerous, in which aninstitution's participants appropriate the technology in the service of goals,strategies, and relationships that the institution has already organized.This amplification model can be applied in analyzing the Internet'srole in politics. After critically surveying a list of widely held viewson the matter, this paper illustrates how the amplification model mightbe applied to concrete problems. These include the development of socialnetworks and ways that technology is used to bind people together into apolity. 1 IntroductionThe Internet's promise of ubiquitous information makes it a perfect screenfor projecting the hopes and fears of a society. Nowhere are these projectedhopes and fears more elaborate than with regard to politics.
