The term ‘disconnection’ in the title of our chapter refers to a disjuncture between individuals and officialdom. According to Easton and Dennis (1967, p. 26), a politically efficacious person is able ‘to construct a psychic map of the political world with strong lines of force running from himself to the place of officialdom’. In this sense, we present a study of the relationship between Internet use and political efficacy, people’s belief that a relationship exists between themselves and the institutions that govern society.
