JCMC Vol8 Issue3: Electronic Networks and Democracy

"The European Institute of Communication and Culture 
<http://www2.arnes.si/%7Eljjavno1/euricom.html> is engaged in a 
long-term investigation into understanding the problems and 
possibilities of electronic networks in democracies. The second in a 
series of seminars on this topic was held in October 2002 in Nijmegen, 
The Netherlands. Then, some 60 scholars from across Europe, North 
America and Australasia convened and presented papers related to a 
single overriding question: In what manner and to what degree can 
electronic networks contribute to a more informed and politically active 
citizenry?

Many of the papers presented at this event are being revised for 
publication in four journal theme issues, scheduled for release during 
the course of 2003.1 
<http://www.ascusc.org/jcmc/vol8/issue3/intro.html#foot1> This issue of 
JCMC brings together the first collection of articles from this event. 
It is no coincidence that three of these six articles are concerned with 
facets of community networks, which is one of the potentially most 
fruitful arenas for implementation of electronic networks designed for 
democratic purposes. The other three articles in this issue consider the 
theoretical grounding of electronic democracy, the predisposition of 
discussants to search out the like-minded while online, and the 
implications of virtual communities for e-citizenship."
