[Telecentres] Re: telecentres Digest, Vol 10, Issue 3

[Gurstein, Michael]

Hi Vineeta,

You might want to take a look at the website of the CRACIN project
www.cracin.ca and specifically the paper by Graham Longford on Community
Networking and Civic Participation.  CRACIN (the Canadian Research
Alliance for Community Innovation and Networking) is a three year
research project examining Community Networking from a variety of
perspectives including civic engagement.  

Also, some of the articles that have appeared in the Journal of
Community Informatics http://ci-journal.net might be of interest (the
next issue will be out within the next week).

Best, 

Mike Gurstein

Dear All,

I am doing my masters at LSE and am doing my dissertation on telecentres
and whether they have contributed to strengthening the citizen
government interface as a contributing factor to social policy. I am
looking for case studies and some theoretical explanations based on
Habermas and Edelman's theories.

I hope that some learned audience on this forum can guide me.

Regards 

Vineeta
