Offering a comprehensive analysis, the handbook is structured into seven thematic sections, including the campaign environment; rhetoric and persuasion; campaign strategies; campaign tactics and platform affordances; news and journalism; citizens and voters; and civil society. The chapters within each section reflect on the latest societal, technological, and cultural developments and their impact on campaigning, on democratic culture within societies, and on the roles that campaigns might play in both facilitating and impeding political engagement. Key trends and innovations are examined alongside case studies and examples from a range of nations and political contexts. Issues around trust and representation are further reflected in a focus on the wider campaigning environment and the rise in importance of grassroots and pressure groups, social movements, and movements that coalesce within digital environments.
The Routledge Handbook of Political Campaigning is an essential resource for scholars, students, and practitioners in political communication, media and communication, elections and voting behavior, digital media, journalism, social movements, strategic communication, social media, and more broadly to democracy, sociology, and public policy.

"Campaigns are an integral part of political life in every single democratic country. Yet there are surprisingly few publications that attempt to take a comprehensive look behind the scenes. The Routledge Handbook of Political Campaigning has made a major contribution to this discussion by covering a wide range of different aspects and issues related to political campaigns."

"Political campaigning is a lifeblood of every modern society including those that try to impede it. For that reason, the Routledge Handbook of Political Campaigning should top every political communication scholar's wish list for the next few years to come. Not only do Darren G. Lilleker, Daniel Jackson, Bente Kalsnes, Claudia Mellado, Filippo Trevisan, and Anastasia Veneti offer a long-awaited, fresher perspective on political campaigning but their book uniquely offers three theoretical approaches, appropriate to our turbulent and trying times, but also relevant in broadening the conceptualization of this burgeoning research field."
