Abstract:

This chapter provides a comparative analysis of e-petitioning platforms, including Downing Street e-petitions, We the People and Scottish e-petitions. The chapter focuses on policy impacts, patterns of political participation and the nature of political communication facilitated. It argues that the institutionalization of e-petitioning systems is crucial to their success.
