Abstract

This paper describes how to apply the ICTs into the model of Deliberative Democracy to achieve legitimacy in decision making. To do this, we will discuss the Deliberative Model and how we can add participation instruments to improve the Deliberative Model and to include social or cultural stratum that are not contained in this model.  Finally, we will see which electronic ways may help to create conditions for Deliberative model, using or not the Internet.
