Democracy Online The Prospects for Political Renewal Through the Internet

Taking a multidisciplinary approach that they identify as a "cyber-realist research agenda," the contributors to this volume examine the prospects for electronic democracy in terms of its form and practice--while avoiding the pitfall of treating the benefits of electronic democracy as being self-evident. The debates question what electronic democracy needs to accomplish in order to revitalize democracy and what the current state of electronic democracy can teach us about the challenges and opportunities for implementing democratic technology initiatives.Shane, Peter M. is the author of 'Democracy Online The Prospects for Political Renewal Through the Internet', published 2004 under ISBN 9780415948647 and ISBN 0415948649.
