Mini-track: Beyond e-Government: e-Democracy, e-Inclusion, and e-Participation

We invite submissions to “Beyond e-Government: e-Democracy, e-Inclusion, and e-Participation” mini-track at the Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) 2023 to be held in Panama, August 10-12, 2023.

Mini-track Title: Beyond e-Government: e-Democracy, e-Inclusion, and e-Participation

The term e-government emerged in the late 1990s and generally describes a variety of interactions between national or communal administrations on one side, and residents and other entities on the other side, using information and communication technology (ICT). As our civilization more and more moves towards an e-society, a society where the use of ICT is increasingly accepted and integrated in all aspects of daily life, e-government may be progressing into e-democracy with e-inclusion and e-participation. Whereas traditionally e-government has been mainly providing information and services to the populace over the internet, with the decision-making remaining chiefly on the government side, e-democracy allows the general population to be included in democratic processes (e-inclusion) and participate in policy making (e-participation). This mini-track invites submissions dealing with all aspects of e-democracy, e-inclusion, and e-participation.
Possible Topics:

·       Case studies of aspects of e-democracy, e-inclusion, or e-participation.

·       Acceptance of e-democracy features by population groups.

·       Technical characteristics of implementing e-democracy elements into e-government.

·       Development of concepts related to aspects of e-democracy, such as e-lobbying, e-referendum, e-consultation, e-deliberation, e-petition, e-monitoring, etc.

·       All aspects of e-voting, including security considerations.

·       Development of e-parliaments.

·       Social media and e-democracy.

·       Innovation in the public sector and e-democracy. 

·       E-government as a tool for socio-economic development.

·       Opportunities for e-justice systems.

·       E-administration, e-parliament, e-justice, as components of e-democracy.
