We often learn more from our failures than from our successes, and in this regard, the book has much to teach. It asks about the realities and myths of e-participation. It poses the question of how differences in cultural values and norms may affect the use of technology in a society. It raises questions that we cannot yet answer and it encourages us to learn more, to understand better, and to share with each other.

The book provides case studies that highlight the necessary conceptual frameworks and the lessons that have been learned.

E-Parliament and ICT-Based Legislation is an interesting book to have on your shelves. It is packed with information, particularly on case studies one hardly ever hears about. This is a book that will be of use for anyone interested in the issues of e-parliament, ICT and the public, or management, technology and institutions. [...]
The book brings together an impressive number of authors, from various backgrounds, both academics and practitioners; it also combines authors from different types of subject background: from ICT, communication, management, to others from a more parliamentary specific background. This provides a wealth of varied approaches to the topic.
