ELECTRONIC DEMOCRACY MINITRACK
The Internet and other information technologies promise to
invigorate democratic processes by facilitating public discourse
among citizens and between government and all stakeholders.
However, these technologies can also foster anti-democratic
outcomes such as limited access, reduced privacy, increased
control, and reduced interaction. Moreover, it is unclear
whether or how electronic democracy might invigorate democracy
more broadly. Electronic voting, access equity, online
interaction for public policy decision making, information
reliability, political coordination among multiple stakeholders,
and public monitoring of and communication with elected officials
are a few of many the areas of research. This minitrack seeks
research that investigates whether and how information
technologies contribute to democratic processes and outcomes.
It also invites papers that investigate the conditions under
which technologies best encourage democratic processes and outcomes.
Research from a variety of perspectives; citizen, government,
stakeholder; and comparative analyses are welcome.
Topics and Research Areas include (but are not limited to)
" Models and methods of IT-enabled public discourse
" Use of IT to enhance public participation in the rule-making
process
" Communications tools for elected officials
" IT and civic engagement
" Electronic voter registration and voting
" Use of IT and communications technologies in election
campaigns
" Public opinion polling
" IT-enabled advocacy and activism
" Democratic implications of the digital divide

minitrack, please contact Eric Welch: ewwelch@uic.edu
