"This isn’t our first book on thesis writing; we are also the authors of the companionvolume, How to Write a Better Thesis, originally written by David Evans andpublished in 1995, and revised by us in 2003 and 2011. That book is primarilyintended for senior research students undertaking a thesis across a period of years.In writing this new book, we focus solely on first theses. Although we have reliedon content from the other volume (from which about half of this book is taken),we have observed that the challenges of writing a minor thesis, especially giventhe time and resource constraints, are very different. Another factor is that seniorresearch projects such as PhDs take a range of forms, whereas a minor thesis is—and should be—the product of a more or less standard approach. Our goal here is to help guide you through your first piece of substantial research."

"Donald Trump, the Arab Spring, Brexit: digital media have provided political actors and citizens with new tools to engage in politics. These tools are now routinely used by activists, candidates, non-governmental organizations, and parties to inform, mobilize, and persuade people. But what are the effects of this retooling of politics? Do digital media empower the powerless or are they breaking democracy? Have these new tools and practices fundamentally changed politics or is their impact just a matter of degree? This clear-eyed guide steps back from hyperbolic hopes and fears to offer a balanced account of what aspects of politics are being shaped by digital media and what remains unchanged. The authors discuss data-driven politics, the flow and reach of political information, the effects of communication interventions through digital tools, their use by citizens in coordinating political action, and what their impact is on political organizations and on democracy at large."
