Abstract

The European Parliament faces a recognised communications gap, which Web 2.0
technologies may have the potential to address. This dissertation summarises the
current research on the use of Web 2.0 technologies for promoting citizen
engagement and democratic participation, and reviews the EP's use of these
technologies as part of their online presence, using a modified version of Dahl's
ideal democracy as an analytic framework. In conclusion it presents a critical
evaluation of the impact of Web 2.0 on EP-citizen relations, and makes
recommendations for further research.
