Complete title:
Not all the online political forums are futile: The case study of the “radical community”

Description (short summary):
This paper draws insights from several interviews (40) that online forums can play important democratic functions within political organizations. It focuses on the case study of the Italian party “radicali italiani”, and analyses three aspects: i) the technical and organizational characteristics of the forum; ii) the reasons for participating (or not) in the forum; iii) the functions that forum fulfills for the different political actors (leaders, activists and sympathizers).
