============================================================================
> =====
> BACKGROUND
>
> We invite contributions to a special issue of the journal Interacting with
> Computers examining the challenges of designing systems to
>
> support democractic participation in civil society.
>
> Democratic participation is not merely an issue of electronic voting, but
> also of campaigning, organising and participation in policy
>
> formation through a wide variety of groups. Such organisations may be
> formally constituted, e.g. trade-unions, political parties, voluntary
>
> groups or campaigning 'non-governmental organisations' (NGOs), or may be
> informal collections of individuals and organisations conducting
>
> conversations and sharing electronic material e.g. email petitions,
weblogs
> and satirical emails such as those circulated opposing the war
>
> in Iraq.
>
> This special issue of Interacting with Computers  will explore how
existing
> knowledge of human computer interaction (HCI) and of the use of
>
> information & communication technologies (ICT) can be applied by such
> groups, and what questions such groups pose for our emerging
>
> understanding of HCI and information systems.
