إسهام البيئة الرقمية في دعم الديمقراطية التشاركية : أدوات المشاركة عن بعد نموذجا

Abstract EN

- This paper discusses how digital sphere contributes to reinforce participatory democracy and to establish mass participation as one of the most crucial dimensions of modern democracy.

It argues that a digital environment, based on an enormous revolution of (new) ITCs, offers new innovative mechanisms and modes of “remote participation” which allows the different partners to impact and take part in public policy making processes.

The study concludes that digital environment and e-communities create new models of good governance that go beyond traditional ideal models of government.

They provide new avenues to overcome the structural and procedural obstacles to establish participatory democracy as a mode of governance.
