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

closed circuit television. The final section discusses ICTs and the

communities in the information age and the community network. This
book provides a source for those studying social policy, politics
and sociology as well as for policy analysts, social scientists and
