*A revolution doesn*t happen when a society adopts new tools. It
happens when society adopts new behaviours* (Clay Shirky)
Call for Papers
It is only now, during the first decade of the 21st Century, that those
scientific eDemocracy visions developed in both in the 60s and the 90s
are becoming reality and implemented. Surprisingly, it is not the IT
developments in IT alone that are responsible for successful eDemocracy
projects - it is all those members of society who use them, as they
adopt new behaviours. The new, digital generation lives and breathes new
values: they collaborate, compile content together, share their ideas,
create networks on social platforms and organise themselves quickly and
simply. The new values held, the new behaviours, the changed mindset,
with improved usability and a usage of the internet which still
continues, has led to a rapid and radical change in our society.
The EDem10 focuses on these changes which can be seen occurring in
different areas and which are manifest in different way:
* Transparency & Communication (freedom of information, free
information access, openness, information sharing, blogging,
micro-blogging, social networks, data visualization, eLearning,
empowering, *)
* Participation & Collaboration (innovation malls, innovation
communities, bottom up, top down, social networks, engagement and
accountability, collaborative culture, collaboration between C2C, G2C,
*)
* Architecture, Concepts & Effects (access and openness, user
generated content, peer production, network effects, power laws, long
tail, harnessing the power of the crowd, crowd sourcing, social web,
semantic web, *)
* Different Fields: open government initiatives, eDemocracy,
eParticipation, eVoting,
* Different Disciplines: law, social science, computer science,
political science, psychology, sociology
* Research Methods
