Abstract

E-participation is a term describing the utilization of ICT to enable citizens to participate in political decision-making processes. In this chapter, we first introduce the political decision-making process as the underlying framework for identifying the role of ICT in modern politics. Then, we outline the role played by ICT in the political decision-making process and the potential of ICT. Furthermore, we describe typical difficulties when implementing E-participation initiatives, concluding with a section on costs of such initiatives. In this regard, we introduce the E-participation balanced scorecard, which is a tool to align the political and direct democratic potential of a concrete initiative with the costs associated with its application.
