e-Democracy and e-Participation mini-track at ECEG 2015


Description:



This track focuses upon the practice and potential for digital technology to revitalise and extend the democratic process. [...]


Topics may include, but are not limited to:



  • The extent to which e-Democratic practice might reverse disenfranchisement and disengagement from traditional/current democratic systems.

  • Innovative focuses upon the potential of e-Participation and e-Democracy to transform representative government. Egs. improving upon current e-Petitions which simply reproduce their off-line equivalent; improving consultative and deliberative processes between elections.

  • Identity verification and privacy protection in e-Democratic processes such as e-Voting and agenda setting.

  • The application of e-Participation within organisations and the potential responsibilities of TNCs (Transnational Corporations) in empowering the consumer-citizen.

  • e-Democracy as a facilitator of the evolution and redesign of democracy into a more responsive system which actually improves on our current system rather than just reproducing it in electronic form. The need to formalise the e-Democratic tools and practices to give them legal status.
