Around the world, citizens in local communities are utilising ICTs
to underpin the creation of a participatory and democratic vision
of the network society. Embedded in the richness and diversity of
community practice, a vision of a 'civil network society' is
emerging. A society where ICTs are harnessed as tools to improve
the quality of life and reflect the diversity of social networks;
where people are viewed as citizens, not just as consumers, and
where heterogeneity is perceived as a strength rather than a
weakness.
Community Practice in the Network Society looks at the broad
context in which this is happening, presents case studies of local
projects from around the world, and discusses community ICT
research methodologies. Not only does it highlight the symbiotic
relationship between community ICT practice and research, but it
also provides evidence supporting the case for the development of
more inclusive and participatory pathways to the network society.
