Remaking Europe in the Margins Northern Europe after the Enlargements

Remaking Europe in the Margins Northern Europe after the Enlargements

Originally published in 2005. This comprehensive volume examines the issue of Europe-making related to the post EU/NATO enlargement and the post 9/11 situation. Dual enlargement and the War on Terrorism are raising important questions for various actors in Europe in particular what these developments will mean for the future of regional cooperation and the development of a regional subjectivity. Such concerns have been further compounded by America's distinction between 'New Europe' and 'Old Europe'. The volume analyzes at both policy and conceptual levels how the dual enlargement and the War on Terrorism will impact on regional cooperation in northern Europe. It examines how events in northern Europe have helped shape the nature of European space borders and governance including how the EU the US and Russia have each highlighted northern Europe as a special case to be utilized and learnt from in dealing with problems elsewhere in Europe and globally. Presenting original articles the volume will appeal to scholars of regional politics as well as security international relations theory and geopolitics. | Remaking Europe in the Margins Northern Europe after the Enlargements

E-Participation in Southern Europe and the Balkans Issues of Democracy and Participation Via Electronic Media

E-Participation in Southern Europe and the Balkans Issues of Democracy and Participation Via Electronic Media

The rapid development and the growing penetration of information and communication technologies (ICT) provide tremendous opportunities for a wide and cost effective application of the ideas of participative democracy and public participation in government decision and policy making. ICT can drive dramatic transformations in the quantity and quality of communication and interaction of government organizations with citizens revitalizing and strengthening the modern representative democracy which currently faces big problems of reduced citizens’ trust and involvement. This book deals with the application of these e-participation ideas in the special and ‘difficult’ and at the same time highly interesting national context of Southern Europe and the Balkans. The first chapter provides an overview of e-participation concepts and practices whilst the following chapters analyse pilot applications of e-participation concepts in eight different Southern European and Balkan countries (Spain France Italy Slovenia Serbia Albania Greece Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)). They cover both the ‘classical’ e-participation paradigm based on official e-participation spaces created operated and controlled by government organizations as well as emerging new e-participation paradigms including e-participation based on web 2. 0 social media and ‘scientific-level’ e-participation based on opening government data to the scientific community. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Balkan and Near Eastern Studies. | E-Participation in Southern Europe and the Balkans Issues of Democracy and Participation Via Electronic Media
