Abstract

In parallel to more open and participative governance movements associated with mobility, there has been widening interest in linking the Internet with new forms of democracy. Underpinned by the wider canvas of the democratization of information across societies, proponents of reform and critics of the status quo have thus sought to foster an alternative paradigm less rooted in historical foundations and increments of change and more aligned with more virtual realities. Fueled by the widening capacities for spontaneous and grassroots mobilization, any such reform project nonetheless faces stiff head winds stemming from tensions between machinery and mobility. At the core of such tensions in terms of democratic processes is the challenge of deliberation.

Indeed, going forward in this book, we will not distinguish between engagement and empowerment, viewing the space in between these two levels as the essence of “participation and engagement” as discussed and titled in this chapter.
 
2
Such a definition is in keeping with and largely stems from the “spectrum of public participation” created by the International Association for Public Participation:

As discussed further below, such a basis for more direct and less partisan involvement already exists in many jurisdictions at the local level—where not coincidentally governments are leading in the embracement of digital experimentation aimed at wider and more direct and collaborative forms of citizen engagement with both appointed and elected officials. Although the local scene is far from a nirvana of democratic renewal, and while its structuring and conduct is shaped by national institutions and cultures, it nonetheless provides a more feasible laboratory and window upon current incremental changes that may yield more insight into prospects and conditions for more widespread change and reform as democracies and public administration adapts more fully to a still-nascent mobility era.
