Preferred term

e-democracy  

Definition

  • E-democracy (electronic democracy) refers to the use of information and communication technologies to enhance and in some accounts replace representative democracy. Theorists of e-democracy vary, but most unite around the belief that some of the traditional limits to citizenship in contemporary liberal democratic polities—problems of scale, scarcity of time, the decline of community, and the lack of opportunities for policy deliberation—can be overcome by new forms of online communication.
