"New Media and Political Parties in Asia"
James Gomez, PhD Candidate, Monash Asia Institute

This discussion presents an overview of the ongoing research in the area
of new media and political parties. It will show that developments in
information technology are giving political parties a new lease of life,
contrary to the belief that political parties are on the decline. In
what ways does information technology such as the Internet empower
political parties, especially those in Asia? What are some of the
negative outcomes? This presentation provides some insights into the
situations in South Korea, Japan, India and Singapore.
