Ten or so years ago local governments were failing to use ICTs to support their democratic missions. The mainstreaming of the internet into social and economic life has also led to its take-up by local governments to support different democratic practices. This chapter develops an analytical framework which situates e-democracy initiatives across two dimensions: delegation-participation and transmission-interaction. Using this framework, the chapter draws upon primary research into e-democracy developments in five European countries: Estonia, Hungary, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. It concludes that while e-democracy developments are converging around a few key applications, the ways in which these devices are being used, and their effects on democratic practices, varies considerably between countries. In effect, countries are enacting the same e-democracy devices for very different purposes.
