>>Porto Alegre - CTP Call for Papers
>>
>>
>>The Communications Technology Policy section invites submission of 
>>abstracts for papers and posters to be presented at the 2004 IAMCR 
>>Conference to be held in Porto Alegre, Brazil, 25.-30. July 2004. The 
>>Conference will be held under the theme: Communication and Democracy: 
>>Perspectives for a New World. More information about the conference is 
>>available at: http://www.pucrs.br/famecos/iamcr/
>>
>>Digital technology opens up new possibilities for democratization. 
>>Through ICTs citizens may get better access to information and find new 
>>means to participate in democratic debate and decision-making. Yet, there 
>>are a number of political and social challenges to enable these 
>>potentials to be fully realized on local, national and global levels. 
>>These challenges include questions of culture, capabilities, access and 
>>social inclusion, of the openness of the networks and of the 
>>possibilities for citizens to use ICTs effectively for participatory 
>>purposes. How does policy address these issues - and how does this 
>>interact with new market developments? How do user aspects enable or 
>>constrain possibilities of digital participation? What new dimensions of 
>>research can contribute to a better understanding of the relationships 
>>between policy, information and communication technology and democracy?
>>
>>Papers and posters to be presented in the CTP Section should relate to 
>>the overall theme of the conference and contributions on the following 
>>sub-themes are especially invited:
>>
>>* Digital Divide vs Democratic Inclusion - political, social and cultural 
>>challenges on local and global levels.
>>* Structures and governance of the liberalized ICT industries.
>>* Strategies and policies regarding gate keepers in converging markets.
>>* Global Technologies and Local Power Relations - policies, adaptation 
>>and use at community levels.
>>
>>The CTP section encourages papers that address these themes from the 
>>perspective of the production and/or consumption of technologies. 
>>Although the sub-themes above are of particular interest, the section 
>>welcomes submissions on closely related issues and will give 
>>consideration to such abstracts.  The section encourages papers offering 
>>theoretically informed and empirically grounded contributions.
>>
>>Abstracts of about 500 words should be sent by 14. February 2003 to the 
>>four e-mail addresses of the section heads and deputies 
>>((hdunn /at/ cwjamaica.com), (Verhoest2 /at/ stb.tno.nl), (jo.pierson /at/ vub.ac.be), 
>>(tanja.storsul /at/ media.uio.no)). Please indicate whether the abstract is 
>>intended for the paper or poster sessions. All prospective presenters 
>>will be advised by 12. April 2004 of the outcome of their applications. 
>>The full text of accepted papers would be due for submission no later 
>>than 13. July 2004.
>>
