An Introduction -- Part I: The E-Public in Europe -- Part II: E-Participation -- Part III: E-Voting.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.Political scienceEuropeEconomic integrationEconomic developmentPublic administrationCommunicationComputers and civilizationPolitical ScienceEuropean Economic IntegrationEconomic Development, Innovation and GrowthPublic AdministrationMedia and CommunicationComputers and SocietyPolitical science.EuropeEconomic integration.Economic development.Public administration.Communication.Computers and civilization.Political Science.European Economic Integration.Economic Development, Innovation and Growth.Public Administration.Media and Communication.Computers and Society.320Lindner Ralfedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtAichholzer Georgedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtHennen Leonhardedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910255328703321Electronic democracy in Europe1758849UNINA
