IT for E-Democracy

The concept of e-democracy encompasses the ‘public internet’ as a coalition of private sector, government, non-profit, educational institutions and others, working together to apply Internet resources in public interest. A leading advocate of e-democracy, Steve Cliff (http://www.publicus.net/) argues that this development can been “constrained by our notion .. that government alone is responsible to solve public problems". E-democracy is a two-way dissemination of democratic information and papers in this track address the impact of online groups on local and global politics.
