Description
Heather MacIvor is Professor of political science at the University of Windsor. This article is based on her presentation at the Canadian Study of Parliament Conference on "Interactive Government" in November 1996. This article looks at two specific areas of politics where computer and communication technologies are playing an increasing role: party leadership selection and communication between party organizations and their members. It argues that these technologies do have some applications in politics, when they work properly, but they are not a panacea for apathy, disaffection, ignorance and prejudice. Indeed, on those scores, they probably do more harm than good.
