Abstract
Elected representatives in numerous democracies have adopted blogging as an additional mode of communication with their constituents. In the UK and other advanced democracies, this development has stimulated scholarly optimism as a potential remedy to the estrangement that citizens feel between themselves and their representatives. This article looks at the blogging practices of legislators in Taiwan, a third wave democracy that has recently witnessed declining turnout and support for democracy. Legislators in this switched-on democracy have enthusiastically embraced blogging—the article addresses how they are using the medium and assesses the prospects for reconnecting representatives and their constituents.
