Product Description

Book Description
Voter turnout and interest in party politics are in long-term decline, particularly among young people. Those who do become politically active leave it until later in life than previous generations. This presents a clear challenge to the health of our democracy.

Can information and communication technology (ICT) reduce the democratic deficit? This report, based on an in-depth analysis of youth projects that use ICTs, concludes that digital technology has an important part to play - but only if young people are offered real power over decisions that affect them.

ICT has already enabled the views of young people to be canvassed more often and more widely. But, as Logged Off? argues, if this does not lead to any real change, there is a danger that young people will become even more frustrated with the political process.

Simply relying on the novelty of voting online or by text messaging will not be enough to interest young people in politics. Further attempts to engage young people using new technologies must be linked to decision-making power.

This report argues that the government can use ICT to enable young people to become directly involved in the political process and suggests that the anonymity of online communication may be an important way to build the confidence to participate in debates.
