AB - As the futurologists have anticipated, the development of internet have enormous influences on the political participation of general citizens in the political process. This article attempts to analyze theoretically the effects of the use of internet as an online public opinion sphere, from the point of a competition for hegemony between political parties and civil society movements, respectively the main actor of political and civil society. Both political society and civil society are making use of the online public sphere on the web to overcome the limits of modern ‘representative democracy’ and to facilitate political participation. While political society utilizes the internet as a means of public relations of party politics or public mobilization to expand political power in the name of promotion of ‘participatory democracy’, civil society exploits it as a means of ‘direct democracy’ to get its autonomy from the state and political society to mobilize its own resources. This conflicting use of the internet by political society and civil society causes competitions for hegemony over the online public opinion sphere between the two and has significant influences upon the overall political and social phenomena. Thus, who takes the hegemony may result in invisible control or public disorder.
