Abstract

There have been a number of efforts to promote ‘e-participation’ in politics to give citizens a better voice in policymaking. Yet the success of these initiatives has varied substantially across the world. Pragati Rawat and John C. Morris argue that investment in technology alone is not enough for citizens to embrace these new avenues for participation. Governments must also provide a supportive environment with institutional structures that can facilitate the process.
