Abstract
Current research in e-democracy has so far focused on the early stages of political decision making. Information- and communication technology (ICT) has been shown to facilitate participation in agenda setting and alternative selection. But ICT also has the potential to facilitate evaluation of existing policies. This paper examines policy evaluation from local politicians view. What web-based tools are useful for policy evaluation, and what kind of information do these tools provide?
The authors want to thank the following persons for their help with preparation of this paper: Erik Dahl (City ombud, Bergen), Geir Halstensen (KS), Ivar Johansen (Oslo SV), Torill Lønningdal (9K), Jan Wølneberg (Kommuneforlaget).
