Paper Abstract:
|
The purpose of this paper is three-fold: (1) to present a new theoretical model for Citizen Participation in Parliaments and
other Regional and Local Authorities (RLAs), (2) to share our experience (lessons learned) in the implementation of two
specific e-Democracy initiatives in the Basque Parliament known as Zabalik and Parte Hartu, and (3) to introduce a
third e-Democracy project to be known as ParlamAuto. Our early results appear to indicate that citizens are willing to
engage and participate, once government officials make a sincere and determined stand to invest resources, listen, and to
act on citizens´ concerns and recommendations. |
