"PROSPECTS FOR ELECTRONIC DEMOCRACY" - COMMUNITY  CONNECTIONS ISSUES
CALL
FOR PAPERS

Community Connections, a Hewlett Foundation funded-project at
Carnegie
Mellon University on on-line civic  deliberation, is planning a
conference
in late September or early October 2002  on "Prospects for Electronic

Democracy." The organizers hope to turn accepted  papers into a
published
volume. Papers are sought in the following areas:

*     Case studies of successful efforts to foster meaningful and
enduring
on-line civic engagement and deliberation.

*     Papers that relate prospects for electronic democracy to the
social
and psychological factors that either contribute to or impede
political
deliberation and community engagement in real space.

*     Research that addresses the individual, social, and political
consequences of on-line deliberation, whether on communication,
individual
decision-making processes, or public policy formation.

*     Research relating the Internet to the future of representative
democracy, including such topics as political campaigns, grass-roots
organizing, communicating with representatives, and on-line voting.

*     Papers addressing the implications of electronic communication
for
democratic theory.

Proposals should be submitted no later than March 15, 2002 to
Professor
Peter  M. Shane, Project Director, Community Connections, H. John
Heinz III
School of  Public Policy and Management, Carnegie Mellon University,
5000
Forbes  Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213. Anyone interested in discussing
paper
ideas  preliminarily is also welcome to contact Professor Shane.
Completed
drafts will  be due August 30, 2002. Interdisciplinary and
collaborative
proposals are  welcome.
