Abstract: | What we are witnessing now, not only in Great
Britain, is that citizens are less and less interested
in participation in politics. We see a crisis
of representative democracy. One of the means
used to fight those negative trends is the use of
Information and Communication Technology.
It not only enables citizens to gain a wide access
to public information but also empowers them
to take part in decision making. The article
was written with the aim to analyze the political
agenda of successive British governments
pertaining to the use of the Internet in building
more effective local government communication
channels in English local authorities. The analyses
of documents and secondary sources were
conducted. Special attention was devoted to
the introduction and development of electronic
petition systems on the local level, as e-petitions
are one of the most popular e-democracy mechanisms in Great Britain. Their use has also been laid down in law. |
