	E-democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		E-democracy, a neologism and contraction of electronic democracy, is the utilization of electronic communications technologies, such as the Internet, in enhancing democratic processes within a democratic republic or representative democracy.
		There are numerous practical and theoretical issues which have yet to be scoped, understood or solved, and work is underway in many democracies on a wide and diverse set of experiments and trials to test approaches and techniques.
		Some traditional objections to direct democracy are argued to apply to e-democracy, such as the potential for governance to tend towards populism and demagoguery.

	Deliberative Democracy
		Democracy here means participation beyond the point of decision, to popular implementation, monitoring of that implementation, and disciplined review of its effects.
		For deliberative democracy to work in real-world settings with ordinary people, it must be able to involve individuals with relatively little experience or skills in the practices of democratic deliberation.
		First, one lamentable fact of all contemporary democracies is that citizens who are advantaged in terms of their wealth, education, income, or membership in dominant racial and ethnic groups participate more frequently and more effectively, than those who are less well off.

		Typically, the kinds of enhancements sought by proponents of e-democracy are framed in terms of making processes more accessible; making citizen participation in public policy decision-making more expansive and direct so as to enable broader influence in policy outcomes (i.e., more heads involved could yield smarter policies); increasing transparency and accountability; and so on.
		Direct democracy comprises a form of democracy and theory of civics wherein all citizens can directly participate in the political decision-making process.
		Internet democracy is a derivative term for e-democracy (electronic democracy), especially related to projects and concepts centered on using the Internet (and not other electronic communications technologies like short message services or teletext) for deliberative and participatory aims.

		One major problem which needs to be overcome for e-democracy to be a success is that of citizen ID.

		Contemporary technologies such as electronic_mailing_lists, peer-to-peer networks, collaborative_software, wikis, Internet forums and weblogs are clues to and early potential solutions for some aspects of e-democracy; equally, they are bellwethers of some of the issues associated with the territory, such as the inability to sustain new initiatives or protect against identity_theft, information_overload and vandalism.

	Intellectuals, the New Public Sphere, and Techno-Politics
		With the rise of Social Democracy and other working class movements in Europe and the United States, an alternative press, radical cultural organizations, and the spaces of the strike, sit-in, and political insurrection emerged as sites of an oppositional public sphere.
		Consequently, I would argue that effective use of technology is essential in contemporary politics and that intellectuals who wish to intervene in the new public spheres need to deploy new communications media to participate in democratic debate and to shape the future of contemporary societies and culture.
		The Tianenaman Square democracy movement in China and various groups struggling against the remanents of Stalinism in the former communist bloc and Soviet Union used computer bulletin boards and networks, as well as a variety of forms of communications, to circulate their struggles.

		He addressed an auditorium full of jurists, teachers, mayors, peasant leaders, indigenous activists, unionists, representatives of women's organisations, of youth groups and of the population displaced by Colombia's civil war -- a crowd that was a manifestation of his calls for greater "tran s-culturality" and "demo-diversity".
		But De Sousa Santos noted that the deepening of a radical and global fight for democracy is only possible to the extent that the organisations involved in the WSF movement apply democracy internally and among their peers.
		The democracy theme that marked the inauguration of the WSTF cuts across all others on the agenda, because this is a political movement that questions a democracy in which "citizens are kept at a distance from the economic centres and whose minimum rights are not guaranteed," said Viva la Ciudadanía's Santana.

		E-democracy (the short form of "electronic democracy") is the utilization of electronic communications technologies, such as the Internet, in enhancing democratic processes within a democratic republic or representative democracy.
		The traditional objection to direct democracy, however, also applies to e-democracy: both approaches to governance are open to demagoguery.
		More generally, the potential lack of deliberation is a serious problem; however, recent developments in peer-to-peer communication, collaboration mechanisms (like wikis and discussion boards) and weblogs (often called "blogs") offer successful solutions for deliberation, once the various issues (spam, populism, and verbal vandalism) are solved.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Democracy [Maxi Single] - Killing Joke at Epinions.com
		Democracy (the single) begins with "Democracy (House of Commons Mix)", which is pretty much a re-hash of the album version.
		"Democracy (Hallucinogen Mix)" is done by (surprise!) Hallucinogen, and it retains very little of the original, replacing it instead with a straight-up techno tune with some distant screams from lead vocalist Jaz Coleman.
		The Democracy single is not a CD that you can listen to from beginning to end in one sitting--the repetitive Clouser remixes pretty much guarantee this, as nobody wants to listen to three tracks that sound exactly the same.

	Jason Kitcat: online community consultant > Direct Democracy: A valid future?
		We are normally reminded that democracy puts the power in the people’s hands – even if the result is, as Esther Dyson puts it, “a tyranny of the majority”.
		And of course democracy is more than just majorities, there’s a complexity of social negotiations that a mathematical or informatic analysis finds hard to account for.
		Democracy will, to some extent, always be about compromise and thus the ‘right’ decisions won’t always come through for us, but that shouldn’t stop us from committing to make the process better – even if it doesn’t always win.

		Without an educated, active citizenry, democracy is nothing.
		Democracy is a dynamic experiment, it is flexible and has a knack for gradually adapting itself to the changes that occur around it.
		The people are what democracy is, and while sometimes they might seem complacent, it is only because there is little need for action.

	Foreign Policy: Spreading Democracy
		Several other factors besides democracy’s popularity explain the dangerous and illusory belief that its propagation by foreign armies might actually be feasible.
		When this consensus—be it religious, ethnic, or both—is absent, democracy has been suspended (as is the case with democratic institutions in Northern Ireland), the state has split (as in Czechoslovakia), or society has descended into permanent civil war (as in Sri Lanka).
		The effort to spread democracy is also dangerous in a more indirect way: It conveys to those who do not enjoy this form of government the illusion that it actually governs those who do.

		I think that this "extreme democracy" idea is part of a larger toolbox of concepts that people will be able to turn to and employ.

		Or will democracies --- especially in the light of terrorist threats---- grow more oppressive, using the technological tools of the political digital age to monitor citizen activity with greater precision than ever before possible.
		So as to our question as to whether the Digital Age is good or bad for American democracy; it as of now seems to be a big sum zero impact and may be even leaning towards the negative.
		While there has evolved in the past decade a segment of the American population who will use their Internet connections for political means, it is by no means a major movement.

		The discourse of the infobahn is replete with evocations of true participatory democracy; techno-spiritualism, evolution and community combine to produce a utopian politics heralding the end of authority and centralized control:
		The ideal electronic democracy requires no specific political effort; it evolves naturally, because it flows from a structural principle of the Net, which is interpreted as a life form, a single organism, a fabric of intelligence, a world-soul.
		The freedom and democracy projected by discourses of virtual subjectivity find their obverse in the dataveillance apparatus which, as Mark Poster has shown in his Foucaudian analyses of databases as identity construction systems (Poster 1993, 1990), construct subjects from traces of consumer behaviour in order to rationalize corporate strategies.
