Making eParticipation policy: a European analysis

The creative and disruptive characteristics of digital networks have profound consequences for the production of citizenship, which has always been technologically constructed, but now derives its significance from a tension between elite intentions and network flows. Our aim in this booklet is to explore this tension empirically by interrogating the process of policy-making with regard to eParticipation in six European countries (Austria, France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, UK).

Questo rapporto di ricerca del progetto europeo DEMO-net propone una analisi dello sviluppo della cosiddetta 'eParticipation' (partecipazione mediata dalle tecnologie digitali) in sei paesi europei, presentando in parallelo le iniziative istituzionali e non istituzionali di partecipazione politica digitale.
