Next Level Participation: Citizen-Driven e-Democracy Tools
As trust in traditional political actors declines, the digitalisation of democratic participation provides new opportunities for citizen political engagement. Citizen groups in Europe have begun to develop digital tools to enhance political participation through deliberation, transparency, and wider participation. In this publication by the
European Liberal Forum and the
Friedrich Naumann Foundation,Flavio Grazian and Hendrik Nahr discuss the potential of citizen-driven e-democracy tools by analysing 15 case studies, identifying challenges and success factors and offering recommendations. These may lead to the creation of more inclusive societies where people become an active part of the political system and, especially, of political decisions.
