The rapid development and the growing penetration of information
and communication technologies (ICT) provide tremendous
opportunities for a wide and cost effective application of the
ideas of participative democracy and public participation in
government decision and policy making. ICT can drive dramatic
transformations in the quantity and quality of communication and
interaction of government organizations with citizens, revitalizing
and strengthening the modern representative democracy which
currently faces big problems of reduced citizens' trust and
involvement. This book deals with the application of these
e-participation ideas in the special and 'difficult', and at the
same time highly interesting, national context of Southern Europe
and the Balkans. The first chapter provides an overview of
e-participation concepts and practices whilst the following
chapters analyse pilot applications of e-participation concepts in
eight different Southern European and Balkan countries (Spain,
France, Italy, Slovenia, Serbia, Albania, Greece, Yugoslav Republic
of Macedonia (FYROM)). They cover both the 'classical'
e-participation paradigm, based on official e-participation spaces
created, operated and controlled by government organizations as
well as emerging new e-participation paradigms including
e-participation based on web 2.0 social media, and
'scientific-level' e-participation, based on opening government
data to the scientific community. This book was originally
published as a special issue of the Journal of Balkan and Near
Eastern Studies.
