State of the art of e-democracy in Flanders

This research is conducted by SMIT-VUB for viwta/Flemish Parliament. The study has two central aims: 1° provide an introduction to the discussion on e-democracy and frame it within broader theories and conceptualisations of democracy, 2° provide an anlysis of the international practices of e-democracy in view of a nuanced vision on possibilities and problems. Both are translated to the possible introduction of solutions in the Flemish Community. Concrete recommendations are made for the Flemish Community.
