Earlier this month I re-visited the Oxford Internet Institute. This time I went to visit the conference Internet, Politics, Policy 2010: An Impact Assessment. It was great to return to Oxford so shortly after my last stay at the Summer Doctoral Programme earlier this year.
At the conference I presented the paper “The political click: political participation through e-petitions in Germany” written by Pascal Jürgens and me on the use of the German e-petition system. A copy of the paper can be found on the conference microsite hosted by the Oii. There the other papers presented at the conference are also available for download. An updated version of the paper will appear later this year in the peer-reviewed journal Policy & Internet. Since the edits were significant advances on the version available the Oii site I would ask you, if you are interested in the paper, to reference the published version.
The conference has been covered on a number of blogs. For example on:

Richard Parsons [@problybored] was kind enough to write a short wrap up on the Oii draft of “The political click: political participation through e-petitions in Germany” on his blog eDemocracyBlog.com.
