Empowerment and e-Participation in Civil Society: Local, National and International Implications: Workshop proceedings, held at Gythyttan Inn near Örebro University, Sweden on May 9th and 10th 2008

While there has been extensive investigation of government-initiated (topdown) forms of e-participation, the Empowerment and e-Participation in Civil Society: Local, National and International Implications workshop provided an opportunity to share knowledge on how civil society actors are using technologies for democratic bottom-up empowerment. The workshop was held in conjunction with two European research networks, DEMO-net and CINEFOGO. This publication includes selected proceedings from the workshop
