		Estonia, already perceived as an international leader in the world of e-government, is now becoming the gem of the EU in terms of e-voting.
		This article in the EU Observer exploring Estonia’s approach to e-voting states: “though pilot e-voting projects had already been carried out at local levels in the UK and Switzerland, Estonia leaped to the forefront of the e-voting race in October 2005 when it held the world’s first nation-wide binding local elections using the system.
		Estonia would be a particularly interesting case study of this type because of its relatively young democratic practices in comparison to some of its EU counterparts which have never had a break in democratic governance.

	Democratization in Estonia - Toivo Miljan
		The difference is simply an antagonistic interpretation of whether Estonia should reflect a Thatcherite or American type of "free-enterprise" economy which in the first instance would be a kind of early robber baron capitalist society, or whether it should reflect the Nordic social-democratic societies-economies, of which the Swedish is held up as the ideal model.
		To the present the fledgling political parties have not formed very firm ideological positions relating to economic questions and thus the skirmishing and the increasing debate that is taking place across party lines is found primarily in the newspapers and on radio and television.
		It must be emphasized, however, that the establishmentarian position on Estonia's reconstruction does not negate a need to reduce the impact of the past 50 years and to eventually right all the wrongs of this period and return Estonia to an ideal democracy.

		Estonia should not expect the EU magically to solve all its problems, but it can provide a context in which those problems can be considered objectively and fairly.
