AB In a world of polarized societies and radical voices hogging the public digital sphere, this thematic issue aims at identifyingthe different strategies of old and new social movements in the extremes of the political debates by focusing on theinterplay between polarization, uses of the internet, and social activism. In order to disentangle these interactions, thisthematic issue covers a wide range of political settings across the globe. It does so by studying: (a) how opposing activistsdiscuss politics online and its implications for democratic theory; (b) how social media uses and online discussions fosteroffline protests; (c) how the media and state‐led‐propaganda frame disruptive and anti‐government offline protests andhow this situation contributes to polarization in both democratic and non‐democratic regimes; and finally (d) how civilsociety uses digital tools to organize and mobilize around sensitive issues in non‐democratic regimes.
