Resumen
The article objectively critiques the political uses of cyberspace. The Internet and cyberspace are having a significant positive effect on the political activities of modern democracies. Democracies, or at least Western democracies, are at the same time the most robust and fragile of governments. Their robustness derives from their theoretically broad-based social foundation. All responsible citizens are allowed to participate equally in the political processes of government, via fair and free elections. The fragility of democracies derives from the practical difficulties of keeping the electorate, the Constitution, and the enlightened public opinion in sync. There are some who have claimed that the Internet is the ultimate proselytizing agent and protector of democracy, the technological advance with the greatest potential for overcoming the fragility of democracy. Internet revolution has the ability to change the nature of political communication from internal, organizational and private to external, constituent-based and public.
