Der große Bruder und das digitale Utopia

Das e-Journal Digital Icons hat seine 3. Ausgabe dem Thema Ãœberwachung gewidmet und kann online hier gelesen werden:

Between Big Brother and the Digital Utopia: e-Governance in Post-Totalitarian Space

Aus dem Editorial:

The third issue of Digital Icons explores the practice of e-participation and e-governance in post-Soviet, post-communist countries, focusing on three main geographical areas, Central Europe (Slovakia), Russia, and Central Asia. e-Governance is understood in broad terms as a multi-faceted phenomenon that encompasses (un-)regulated socio-political and cultural practices that foster public debate, facilitate community building and ensure transparency and accountability of official and alternative actors of power.
