The site below includes a number of interesting papers and presentations including: Australian eDemocracy? The potential for citizens and governments, by Dr Mary Griffiths, Monash University. [word97] (81kb) - http://www.egov.vic.gov.au/Documents/eDemocracy1.doc [pps] (1.32mb) http://www.egov.vic.gov.au/Documents/ausedemocracy.pps The high level of analysis and activity demonstrated below by the State of Victoria represents years of relatively aggressive e-government/IT activity funded by government (two different parties). Their online resource center on e-government is excellent: http://www.egov.vic.gov.au Also, the Victorian Parliamentary E-Democracy Inquiry: http://www.parliament.vic.gov.au/sarc/Current%20Inquires.htm#EDemocrac y Related comments about equity: http://www.onlineopinion.com.au/2002/apr02/Chen.htm It seems to me that there is a growing interest in e-democracy among governments with a foundation of advanced e-government service efforts. Where will this take us? What kinds of tools and applications will be built? Are there ways to leverage this e- democracy activity to promote it in more governments?
