From a list I'm on:

I am pleased to share with you our inaugural volume of the European Review of Political Technologies (ERPT) Governance and Democracy in Cyberspace [http://www.politech-institute.org/review.asp].

ERPT is a unique pan-European periodical and instrument bridging the converging domains of Political Technologies: ePolitics, eDemocracy, eParticipation, eDiplomacy, eCitizenship, eGovernance and eGovernment.

Each issue is divided into 3 sections, namely Research and Policy Shaping, Case Studies and Technological Demonstrations and Current Debates to provide readers with a wide range of perspectives from leading stakeholders. Our ERPT Honorary and Scientific Committee is composed of renowned international and European experts, practitioners, leaders and public officials. Peruse the current volume.

Our upcoming volume eCampaigns, with editorial by Mr. Andre Santini, former French Minister, Member of the French National Assembly, Mayor of Issy-les-Moulineaux and President of Global Cities Dialogue, will be published on our website in June 2005.

We would be pleased to receive your perspectives on Governance and Democracy in Cyberspace and other issues concerning political technologies in your arena to be published in future volumes in addition to your thematic suggestions, abstracts and articles that contribute to ERPT's primary objective and scope. Please view ERPT submission guidelines.

This first volume Governance and Democracy in Cyberspace explores how ICT is enhancing representative democracy and public governance. Europe's challenges for the XXIst century, emphasized by the EU recently revised Lisbon Agenda, to boost

Europe's competitiveness and innovation, central drivers to build a knowledge based economy and the new EU Constitutional Treaty, setting the political and democratic stage of the new European polity; have both fostered good governance and democracy as key enablers for success.
