This chapter examines the communicational dynamic between adaptive and flexible CSOs.

These protests led to two changes in the government coalition and a significant reshuffling of the Romanian political landscape on the eve of the 2012 parliamentary elections. With this in mind, the chapter problematizes the social media (for example, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube) strategies of Romanian political parties and identifies several challenges that these parties face in the context of citizens’ increasingly fluid positions on political matters. It focuses on the digitally networked action (DNA) of CSOs focused on women’s issues to examine how future interactions can improve political party representation of citizens’ interests. The chapter concludes with a series of recommendations for Romanian political parties on developing a better social media presence to engage with citizens and improve the representation of women in politics (Less)
