Is it possible to use the social science toolkit developed in the West to explain social change in the East? In Online Politics in India and China, Ralph Schroeder seeks to understand not only the online political dynamics of India and China but also the social theory underlying it. Schroeder compares these two countries with other parts of the world, and especially the US. He examines populism, the role of social media in elections, and how social movements mobilize online--all questions currently at the top of the research agenda.
