The network society

Three prominent 'camps' have emerged within Internet democracy rhetoric and practice, each drawing upon different models of democracy: communitarian, liberal individualist and deliberative. Much interest has been shown in the former two camps by researchers and policy makers. This paper turns to an examination of the possible realization of the third camp's vision - that the public sphere of rational-critical discourse will be extended through cyberspace. This paper's method is to compare existing online discourse with a set of requirements of the public sphere developed from the work of Jurgen Habermas. Previous research of cyber-interactions reveals a number of factors limiting the expansion of the public sphere online. Toexplore how these limitations may be overcome, the paper examines an online democracy project that explicitly attempts to foster deliberation. It is shown how this initiative has been able to successfully surmount many of the impediments identified in less structured online deliberatio...

The Internet and Democratic Discourse: Exploring The Prospects of Online Deliberative Forums Extending the Public Sphere

From the Publisher:
Cyberdemocracy is a study of the potential for "electronic democracy" through the examination of case studies in US and European cities and civic projects. It aims to strike a balance between enthusiastic and dismissive approaches to "electronic
democracy." The authors consider the impact of new technology with regard to the history of broadcasting and communications technology--in particular, the ways in which the principles and requirements of public service and universal access will, or will not be maintained.
This
is a vigorous contribution to a vital debate about the state of democracy and the impact of communications technology. It will be essential reading for both students and policy makers.

Cyberdemocracy: Technology, Cities and Civic Networks

It selectively focuses on aspects of the exchanges among theorists from the early 1990s onwards and seeks to identify ways in which our understanding of the concept has evolved and attempts to offer a critical evaluation of these.

Rethinking the concept of diaspora: mobility, connectivity and communication in a globalised world

Electronic democracy and the civic networking movement in context

This article constitutes an attempt to assess the correspondence between rhetoric and reality in the democratic promises embedded in diverse projects of electronic democracy. It is argued that although electronic democracy projects claim to enhance information provision, deliberation and participation in decision-making opportunities for citizens, the sombre reality is that little has been done to overcome a number of structural and cultural obstacles to the realization of their democratic promises. The paper concludes that a lot needs to be done in order to broaden access to electronic democracy networks and therefore to extend democratic practices and lead to a broadened public sphere. Access to hardware and software, policies to overcome socially and culturally-conditioned technophobia for specific population groups, the creation of living public spaces, in short, finding ways in which electronic democracy can be articulated to the political sphere and everyday life and integrated to existing social and political practices of the societies which it seeks to serve are necessary conditions for socializing such projects.
