I have been invited to write a state of the art review of e-democracy. I need references, links, software abstracts, unpublished reports, etc. Links will be most valuable, since this is an online Journal (See below).
Materials that are contributed by the end of March 2010 will be included, assuming they are within the scope of the Review. Material contributed later may be included, time permitting. If late contributions don't get into this first Version, they will be included in an update. I expect the Review will be online after the Summer of 2010 and no later than the end of August 2010. All submissions will be acknowledged as received by email. Prior to publication a semi-final draft will be made available to those contributing information for the Review.

Confrontations Europe
bonjour
Please join the pages of CONFRONTATIONS EUROPE ,based in Paris.
Established in 1992, Confrontations Europe is a non-for-profit civil society organisation which gathers companies’ managers, unionists, territorial players, members of the civil society, politicians, intellectuals and students from numerous countries in Europe, all committed to one idea: active participation of civil society for building of Europe.
In the context of the financial and economic crisis, the organisation proposes to consolidate the European Union and ambitions to mobilise citizens and other actors around proposals to get out of the crisis.
You'll certainly appreciate the work of that association.
