Abstract

In modern liberal democracies, participation of the dēmos is not restricted to casting votes in elections, but includes a growing variety of other, both formally institutionalised and informal practices of civic engagement. At the European Union level, the importance of public engagement has increased with the rise of new forms of governance and a “participatory turn” in reaction to the persistent distance and mistrust of citizens towards EU institutions. Propelled by fast technological change in the field of information and communication technologies, electronic or e-participation now plays a crucial role in all kinds of participatory processes between citizens and government as well as between civil society organisations and government. Chapter 3 of this book describes the full scope of the different categories and variants of Internet-based political participation. It starts with reflections on the role of participatory democracy in EU-governance and the relevance of e-participation across the policy cycle, reviews empirical evidence on the use and effects of major forms of e-participation (structured into top-down and bottom-up approaches), places a special focus on the European Citizens’ Initiative as a novel instrument, and highlights good practice cases of European e-participation.

Vorheriges Kapitel The European Public Sphere and the Internet

Nächstes Kapitel Electronic, Internet-Based Voting

Roots of experimenting with information and communication technology (ICT) for citizen participation date back to the early 1970s (cf. Crickman and Kochen 1979).

Major steps were the introduction of participatory democracy as a principle into the Constitutional Treaty signed in Rome in December 2004 and of the relevant Article on the European Citizens’ Initiative—although without its original heading of “Participatory Democracy”—into the Lisbon Treaty; an upswing of “civil society” consultations, increasingly via Internet, through a so-called “transparent consultation mechanism” by European institutions; the EC’s launch of a “Plan D for democracy, dialogue and debate” in 2005 aiming to “go local, listen to and engage with citizens”; a White Paper on the European Communication Policy with a similar mission; two large-scale meetings for exchange between civil society organizations and MEPs in the European Parliament in 2007 and 2009 (“European Agora”); the launch of a Green Paper on the European Transparency Initiative; and most recently a proposal for a Directive on the European Citizens’ Initiative (cf. Saurugger 2010; EC 2010). In 2011 the European Parliament held Citizens’ Agora processes on “The Economic and Financial Crisis and New Forms of Poverty” and in November 2013 a “Citizens’ Agora on Youth Unemployment”. For further information see: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/aboutparliament/en/00567de5f7/Agora.html [accessed July 9, 2015].
