The document discusses how digital technologies can help re-engage citizens in democracy by reducing barriers to participation, but that there are also challenges to consider, such as lack of skills, access, and motivation. It argues that partnerships between government and civil society are needed to realize the transformative potential of digital media and bring citizens back to the center of democracy.

Politics and New Media
Objectives
To understand:
How the shift towards narrowcasting and digital media might change the nature of political participation
How online media are creating a new space and a new set of challenges for the conduct of political debate
How the shift towards a greater degree of social and political surveillance may alter the broader political landscape
How myths of the digital sublime shape our views of electronic democracy
How media and new media tools are central to advancing social and political economic change
Web 2.0 Structuration and the
End of Politics
Argument for democratic emancipatory potential of the Internet
In reality, there is a shrinking of a public sphere
Within the capitalist market economy, there is a contradiction between the formal equality of political participation and the inequalities of income and opportunity that define the relationships of the market
Web 2.0 Structuration and the
End of Politics, cont’d
Media’s relationship with political power—an unofficial watchdog role, acting as a series of checks and balances on those who exercise power
Political economy analysis suggests “democracy” is tolerated by big business as long as real control is off-limits to popular deliberation
Leaps in Logic?
An idealized view of the democratizing power of the Internet is a hopeful prediction; however, this requires leaps in logic:
Internet is no less susceptible to being manipulated by political parties and sectional interest groups than the current system
Issues under consideration in politics online are still determined by those in power positions and do not necessarily address key issues for a broader community
The control of sites by those who wish to promote their own interests will greatly diminish the credibility of the polling results within political circles
Leaps in Logic? cont’d
E-democracy
People make their own history, just not within conditions of their choosing
Structuration: structures may be formal (laws, policies, regulations), formalized (in institutions or organizations), or relatively informal (class, gender or race)
Degree of agency that one can exercise is dependent on these structures, but the human ability to exercise this agency means that they can be changed
New media are contemporary tools used in this process
The Internet as an Election Campaign Tool
Beginning of twenty-first century: politicians in Canada began to embrace the significance and power of using the Internet to reach constituents
The Internet has become an increasingly necessary tool
Cost efficiency
Relative lack of regulation control
Production simplicity
Swift narrowcasting via active interaction with the individual
New technologies in election campaigns are not always used to expand the voter base; sometimes they are used to suppress it
Online Politics and the
Reportorial Community
Digital media convergence is shifting the borders of the reportorial community

The aim of the workshop was to discuss the state-of-art of the Smart City concept and how to translate existing approaches to the reality of the local governments, as well as the institutional capacity for making smarter decisions.
Robert Scholz presented the importance to investigate concepts, which enable the unification and the common understanding and the replication of ICT architectures. He pointed out how to achieve an unified approach which aims to fulfill complex and integrative ICT solutions for Smart Cities. The presented approach aims to base on the idea of openness with 1) respect to interfaces 2)software components and 3) data. It was shown that those are seen as the main ingredient of an ICT eco-system for Smart Cities.

11. With the internet, we have an opportunity to bring citizens back to the centre of our democracies.
12. “ Real change comes when the people are inspired and mobilised, when millions of us are fired up to play a part in the nation’s future.” “ So my invitation today is this: join us, to form a new kind of government for Britain” “ The role of government: to stand by ordinary people so they can change their lives for the better. It is our belief that it is active, reforming government, not absent government, that helps make people powerful.”
17. We need strategies to support grounded leadership inclusive of civil society and government. This can facilitate the transformative potential of digital media, privileging the necessary advocacy, awareness-building and disruptive practices that are required to initiate and sustain democratic transformation.
18.
19. Digital media allows individuals to create effective issues-based campaigns that can quickly and spontaneously spread through viral networks. The largest of these can reach a tipping point where they can impact , influence and even change government policy .
20. Partnerships are fundamental to the effectiveness of eDemocracy. Yet they also show that many challenges exist to establishing effective community-government models for effective engagement.
21. Challenges can only be overcome by increasing civic awareness and an attitudinal change towards digital media that positions it as an integral part of the democratic process, giving equal recognition to the folksonomies of civil society as is currently given to the taxonomies of experts.
