摘要
本研究旨在揭示电子请愿共同签名行为的模式,这些行为表明了在线“社区”参与集体行动,以表达我们人民(WtP)的政策偏好,这是奥巴马发起的第一个基于网络的美国政府请愿系统。这个基于互联网的工具允许用户向奥巴马政府请愿,并征求对政策建议的支持。使用WtP的请愿数据,本案例研究检查了一组125份请愿书,这些请愿书是由与白人至上主义组织“白人种族灭绝项目”(The white Genocide project)有关的个人创建的。使用数据挖掘技术,即市场购物篮分析和社会网络分析,我发现了个人“社区”动员的证据,这些人系统地、战略性地使用WtP平台,通过创建和共同签署请愿书来传播他们的信息,持续了近四年。
Electronic Petitioning as Online Collective Action: Exploring the Systematic and Strategic E-petitioning Behavior of an Extremist Group in We the People
This study aims to reveal patterns of e-petition co-signing behavior that are indicative of the mobilization of online “communities” engaging in collective action to express policy preferences on We the People (WtP), the first web-enabled US government petitioning system initiated by Obama. This Internet-based tool allowed users to petition the Obama Administration1 and solicit support for policy suggestions. Using petition data from WtP, this case study examines a set of 125 petitions that were created by individuals that are associated with a white supremacist group called The White Genocide Project2 . Using data mining techniques, namely market basket analysis and social network analysis, I found evidence of the mobilization of “communities” of individuals who systematically and strategically used the WtP platform to broadcast their message by creating and co-signing petitions every month for almost four years.
