This open access book explores how digital tools and social media
technologies can contribute to better participation and involvement
of EU citizens in European politics. By analyzing selected
representative e-participation projects at the local, national and
European governmental levels, it identifies the preconditions, best
practices and shortcomings of e-participation practices in
connection with EU decision-making procedures and institutions. The
book features case studies on parliamentary monitoring, e-voting
practices, and e-publics, and offers recommendations for improving
the integration of e-democracy in European politics and governance.
Accordingly, it will appeal to scholars as well as practitioners
interested in identifying suitable e-participation tools for
European institutions and thus helps to reduce the EU's current
democratic deficit. This book is a continuation of the book
"Electronic Democracy in Europe" published by Springer.
This edited book is the first of its kind to systematically address
the intersection of e-democracy and European politics. It
contributes to an improved understanding of the role that new media
technologies play in European politics and the potential impact
that Internet-based political participation processes may have on
modern-day representative democracy in Europe. A unique, holistic
approach is taken to examine e-democracy's current state and
prospects in Europe from three, partially overlapping and
interlocking perspectives: e-public, e-participation and e-voting.
The authors provide both theory-inspired reflections on
e-democracy's contribution to the formation of the European public
sphere, as well as rich empirical analyses of contemporary
e-participation phenomena such as the European Citizens' Initiative
or e-voting practices in Estonia. Based on the presented findings,
the concluding chapter combines a prospective outlook with
recommendations for future paths towards meaningful integration of
e-democracy in European politics and governance.

This open access book explores the relevance of the concept of
technology assessment (TA) on an international and global level.
Technologies play a key role in addressing global challenges such
as climate change, population aging, digitization, and health. At
the same time, their use increases the need for coordinated action
and governance at the global level in the field of science,
technology and innovation (STI). Featuring case studies on STI
fields such as energy, biotechnology, artificial intelligence, and
health technology, as well as TA activities at the national and
international levels, this book reflects on the challenges and
opportunities of global technology governance. It also provides an
in-depth discussion of current governmental STI cultures and
systems, societal expectations, and the policy priorities needed to
achieve coordinated and effective STI intervention in policymaking
and public debate at the global level. Lastly, the book promotes
the establishment of a forum for a truly global dialogue of TA
practitioners, fostering the articulation of their needs, knowledge
and perspectives.

Technisierung ist soziologisch adaquat weder einseitig als
technische Determinierung des Handelns zu begreifen, noch sind
technische Artefakte beliebig in die Zwecke der Nutzer
integrierbare Instrumente. Technische Artefakte pragen dem
Alltagshandeln ihre Struktur auf, diese technische Strukturierung
ist aber ebenso Bedingung der Moglichkeit des Handelns in der
Lebenswelt des Alltags."
