TY - GEN A1 - Abendschön, Simone T1 - Politische Online-Öffentlichkeit : abseits vom Mainstream der Printmedien? T1 - Print vs. online media N2 - The internet offers citizens new possibilities to participate in political communication by setting topics on the agenda of public discussion that are neglected by the conventional media. The article examines if and how the topics of the new emerging political public on the web differ from the topics generated by traditional media. The empirical analysis reveals that the topics are mostly the same. However, the analysis also shows that a clear separate public sphere exists that deals with topics outside the political mainstream.

T1 - Electronic voting : global trend or utopia? N2 - The author discusses the issue whether the internet and other electronic sources should be used for elections. Online-elections can make the electoral process not only less complex but also cheaper, thus the analysis faster and more reliable. The lower costs could, in turn, lead to a new impulse on direct-democracy-instruments. Comparing the USA, Great Britain, Germany and Switzerland the article provides information about national strategies, discourses and problems, and shows the different political and cultural settings.

The increasing emergence of civil organizations as well as their new-orientation favoured the development of an alternative “online-public” which tries to mediate between the public’s interests and the state. The influence of this online-public, who profits from the fast and various ways of communication via internet, is best shown by some successful examples of online-action in the economic and the political sector. This gives credence to Dick Morris’ postulated rise of the internet to be the “fifth power” of the state.

Internet-politics does not have the potential to form a new digital culture of deliberation. The existing background of communication culture is a very important variable which has not been incorporated before. The author suggests five different concepts of politics based on the internet. The model of digital democracy provides a basis for exploring the interconnection between internetbased politics and change in political and communication culture. Digital democracy has the potential to make a difference in public deliberation; however, it needs concerned elites and prudent governance.

Inzwischen gehört die Internet-und-Politik-Forschung zum „Pflicht“-Bereich der Regierungslehre und der Vergleichenden Politikwissenschaft. Politik findet heutzutage auch in der digitalen Arena statt. Das beschränkt sich keineswegs nur auf die Herstellung von Öffentlichkeit und das Abwägen von Standpunkten. Mitunter schlägt sich cyberweltlicher Schlagabtausch bereits direkt auf die politische Wirklichkeit nieder. In diesem Sinne bietet das Thema dieses WeltTrends-Heftes eine tour d’horizon digitaler Demokratie.
