- 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..."

- 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..." .
