Nevertheless, interest in the topic grows and new trends and best practices arise. The aim of this thesis was to elaborate on the founding principles of eDemocracy, to build a model for designing eDemocracy initiatives and to examine the current status quo of eDemocracy projects within the European Commission.

Additionally, online documents on the European Commissionżs official web site are examined that substantiate the Commissionżs intent to promote eDemocracy efforts and to make online engagement tools more accessible and more effective in the [...]
