By Lydia Howland with Matthew Bethnall

Can ICT reduce the democratic deficit? This report explores and analyses a number of youth projects that use ICTs, and concludes that the digital technology has an important part to play, but only if young people are offered power over decisions that affect them.

Please note that only the Executive Summary is available to download. For a full copy of the report, please contact Demos, or order a copy online at www.amazon.co.uk.

Carnegie YPI has now teamed up with Professor Stephen Coleman at the Oxford Internet Institute to develop a piece of research around E-Participation and whether the internet can influence young people’s decision to take part or not take part in decision making processes.
