- The Skirmish That Could Threaten Google News
- By Emily Chertoff. The Atlantic, November 2, 2012. "What if Google had to start paying for each link that shows up when you do a search? It would totally wreck the company's business model, right? And maybe change the nature of search engines too? An insurrection may be coming, and it is starting with Google News. Here's the timeline. A couple of weeks ago, a group of 154 Brazilian news websites comprising 90% of the country's market share made a pact to jump out of Google News. The websites, which are part of Brazil's National Association of Newspapers (Associação Nacional do Jornais, or ANJ), had been negotiating with the search engine. They wanted it to pay a fee for linking to their content. Google execs said the plan could only backfire and hurt those websites by wrecking their traffic, but ANJ responded that the website is "irrelevant" and announced that its members had agreed to ban the site, which they then (really!) proceeded to do..."

- Can open data prevent public corruption in Brazil?
- By Claire Lambrecht. Smart Planet, September 12, 2012. "Brazil is no stranger to bureaucracy. For decades, Brazil’s politics resembled the obfuscated, and sometimes tainted, dealings of New York's Tammany Hall. The maxim 'Rouba mas faz,' typifies this tradition. 'He steals,' residents have said of former São Paulo Mayor Paulo Maluf, who allegedly stashed away $1 billion USD of public funds, 'but he gets things done.' That tradition, however, is beginning to erode. In addition to cracking down on individual crimes like embezzlement, the government is employing a data transparency mechanism to create what McKinsey consultants Marcos Cruz and Alexandre Lazarow call 'a new culture of accountability.'..."

- By Chris Jablonski. ZDNet Emerging Tech Blog, August 26, 2010.

- Government and e–participation programs: A study of the challenges faced by institutional projects
- by Francisco Paulo Jamil Almeida Marques. First Monday, Volume 15, Number 8 - 2 August 2010. "This paper examines the difficulties faced by government projects aimed at fostering citizens' political participation by using the Internet. After presenting the participatory tools found on two institutional Web sites (the Brazilian Presidency and the House of Representatives), I examine how the constraints pointed out by a relevant part of the literature in e–participation are reflected in such initiatives. Promoting online participation needs more than providing communication resources, since civic culture and other issues are still key factors in influencing our patterns of political involvement. A participatory use of digital tools depends more on circumstances, such as institutional willingness, than on technical mechanisms available..."

- Participative budget edemocracy initiative in Brazil provides insights into the future
- by Craig Thomler. eGov AU - eGovernment thoughts and speculations from an Australian perspective, Thursday, September 25, 2008. "Brought to my attention by a reader, the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte, capital of the state of Minas Gerais, has begun using evoting to support it's participatory budget setting process. Documented in the research report, 'e-Participatory Budgeting: e-Democracy from theory to success?' the experience is a very interesting example of the use of evoting in increasing direct democratic participation by the public..."

- e-Participatory Budgeting: e-Democracy from theory to success? - in pdf format (105kb)
- (This document requires the use of Adobe Acrobat Reader). By Tiago Peixoto. E-Democracy Centre, Universität Zürich, Switzerland. e-Working Papers 2008. "This paper concerns the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) as a strategy for reinforcing democratic processes - broadly defined as 'electronic democracy' practices - and focuses on the use of ICTs in participatory democracy initiatives. By considering the experience of the e-Participatory Budgeting in the city of Belo Horizonte (Brazil), the aim is to understand some of the possible prospects and limitations offered by ICTs in participatory processes at the local level... Among other findings, this paper argues that even though the use of ICTs was essential to the success of the initiative, other factors were also crucial in accomplishing such a level of participation, notably: i) the scope of the public works at stake; ii) the salience of the initiative and iii) citizens' perception of their actual impact in the decision-making process..." .
