This book addresses one of the greatest challenges of post-modern
democracy: how to bridge the perceived gap between citizens and
democratic institutions. It examines internet-mediated
multi-stakeholder processes of international and regional
organisations - the European Union and United Nations - which aim
to democratise decision-making processes in an attempt to counter
criticisms of a 'democratic deficit'. The book evaluates two
multi-stakeholder consultation processes where the internet played
an important mediating role. It critically evaluates
multi-stakeholderism as well as the potentials and constraints of
the internet in terms of mediating or facilitating such
consultation processes at international and regional levels of
governance. It also addresses the perceived impact of civil society
organisations on decision-making processes beyond the nation-state
and, in turn, the impact of such participatory experiments on civil
society itself. -- .
