Overview: This paper explores three issues. First, it will consider the scope for new forms of participatory or deliberative democracy in an age of widespread (although far from universal) Internet access. Second, it will consider the potential for online media to act as conduits for new forms of citizen engagement with the policy process. Third, it will consider the role of Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) as trusted third parties able to engage in what Steven Clift terms the necessary 'Public net-work' required to generate new forms of public conversation between governments and citizens.
