The project 0016014 Intelligent organizations, financed by the Ministry of Science and Technology, is conducting a survey called "The Technological and Social Prerequisites for E-democracy".
The survey is focused on recognizing processes that should create the transition from traditional democracy of the twentieth century into e-democracy.
E-democracy can be defined as political participation in government by citizens with help of modern information and communications technologies, especially the Internet. Througout the development process of e-democracy two sorts of issues arise: firstly, the technological issue, assumed on a fundamental level, and secondly, an issue which we find more important, the one concerning the social component, where potential participants showed interest in that sort of democracy.
