Relations between the public and holders of political authority are
in a period of transformative flux. On the one side, new
expectations and meanings of citizenship are being entertained and
occasionally acted upon. On the other, an inexorable impoverishment
of mainstream political communication is taking place. This book
argues that the Internet has the potential to improve public
communications and enrich democracy, a project that requires
imaginative policy-making. This argument is developed through three
stages: first exploring the theoretical foundations for renewing
democratic citizenship, then examining practical case studies of
e-democracy, and finally, reviewing the limitations of recent
policies designed to promote e-democracy and setting out a radical,
but practical proposal for an online civic commons: a trusted
public space where the dispersed energies, self-articulations and
aspirations of citizens can be rehearsed, in public, within a
process of ongoing feedback to the various levels and centers of
governance: local, national and transnational.
