The IJED proposes and fosters discussion on the evolution and transformation of political systems by means of technology. However, the concept of e-democracy (also referred to as digital democracy or internet democracy) seems to offer a feasible path to further explore these questions as it is founded on the idea of streamlining political communications and altering aspects of political decision making in order to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of democracy.
 Objectives
The objectives of IJED are to establish an effective channel of communication between policy makers, government agencies, academic and research institutions and persons concerned with the further evolution of democratic institutions. The international dimension is emphasised in order to successfully face the global challenges ahead in order to adapt current national democratic institutions. The gap between democratic ideals and democratic realities, already large, will grow even greater if democracies all around the globe fail to rise to these challenges. Readership
IJED provides a vehicle to help policy makers, academics, researchers, and professionals working in the field of political management, public administration, political science, and information technology to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work. Contents
IJED publishes original research papers and case studies from such fields as information systems, political science, systems theory, communication theory. Published research will be based on diverse methods and approaches as creative insight often occurs outside traditional research approaches and topic areas. Special Issues devoted to important topics in Electronic Democracy will occasionally be published. Subject Coverage
- Challenges and foundations of e-Democracy
- Concepts and models of e-Democracy
- E-Democracy strategies and initiatives
- E-Democracy on the international, national, regional, and local level
- Drivers and barriers for e-Democracy
- Case studies and best (or worst) practice studies illustrating success or failure of e-Democracy
- Development and implementation issues of e-Democracy instruments (especially in the fields of e-Participation and e-Voting)
