Digital Democracy - Discourse and Decision Making in the Information Age (Paperback, New)

Digital Democracy examines the impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and their consequences for political institutions and assesses critically the concept of an emergent electronic democracy.
The first Section discusses the concepts and issues of `Electronic Democracy' with chapters on democracy and cyberspace, local democracy, global control and interactive ICTs. In the second section, entitled ICTs and the State, the chapters examine the impacts and implications of televising the British House of Commons, the effects of ICTs on Political Parties, and closed circuit television. The final section discusses ICTs and the citizen with chapters covering democracies online, strengthening communities in the Information Age and the community network.
Digital Democracy will provide invaluable reading for those studying social policy, politics and sociology as well as for policy analysts, social scientists and computer scientists.
