by Víctor Mari Saez, Francisco Sierra Caballero
International Journal of Electronic Governance (IJEG), Vol. 4, No. 1/2, 2011

Abstract: Cyberspace has introduced new relationships into traditional forms of social intercourse and modern symbolic practices and representations. Information and communication technologies are presented as little explored tools of governance, for the construction of new models of participatory citizenship. Concepts like digital governance refer to new ways of interaction between citizens and governments. In this paper, several innovative experiences in Southern EU Member States are analysed, presenting the preliminary discussion about a new strategic vision for social movements that tries to explore new local forms of cultural autonomy for citizens through the appropriation of new ICTs.
