2: Policy Architecture

Embed eParticipation and eEngagement into Europe’s overarching policy architecture

Other Information:

eParticipation and eEngagement, in addition to being coordinated between different institutions, also need to be firmly embedded into Europe‟s wider policy architecture. eParticipation and eEngagement should become prominent in the successors to Lisbon 2000 and i2010 as well as the i2010 eGovernment Action Plan. They must be integrally woven into and support other major European policies, such as democracy, social inclusion, cohesion, sustainability, community, economic development, plural society, citizenship, wellbeing, global relations, human rights, rule of law and legislation, separation of powers, etc. Work closely with the Council of Europe on the “Recommendations for Electronic Democracy” (2009)
