Journal overview

The Journal of Information Technology & Politics examines how information technology (IT) impacts politics and government, how politics and government influence the development and use of IT, and how IT can be used to advance research and education. The journal’s primary disciplinary home is political science, but regularly features contributions from scholars in related fields such as communication, sociology, economics, geography, and law.
