Abstract

To address the shortcomings of this artifact concept, the chapter further presents literature and insights from prior analyses to underpin a nomadic e-particpation framework for realizing effective e-particpation. The framework is clustered around two major layers of building Mobile Communities: building local networks of governance and building flexible networks. The emphasis in the proposed framework is that the current conceptualization of e-government stifles e-particpation, which therefore limits greater online public participation and deliberations on public policy issues.
