Electronic Government
Minitrack: E-Participation,
e-Citizenship, and Digital Democracy
Participation of citizens is critical to the democratic process
and to the effective performance of e-Governmental services and
systems. This minitrack focuses on e-Participation, the
involvement of citizens in the development, use, and evaluation of
e-Government and Digital Democracy systems. As e-Government
becomes more ubiquitous, many questions arise about what it means
to be an “e-Citizen,” how the concept of citizenship might be
changing, and how participation in the democratic process and
democratic/governmental institutions might be influenced.
Topics and research areas include, but are not limited to:
-
Experience and involvement of the “e-Citizen”
-
Social networking and collaborative spaces in the context of
political participation and e-Government
-
Studies of citizens and democratic processes in virtual worlds
-
Research on the e-participation and the democratic process online
-
Participatory design practice, ethnographic studies, empirical
studies, and case studies of e-Government, e-Democracy, and
e-Participation applications
-
Analyses of impacts and adoption of e-Government, e-Democracy, and
e-Participation systems
-
Studies of the universal access requirements of e-Government
-
National ID card and smart card debate and its implication and
integration with other services
