Writing a New Constitution for Geneva: An Analysis of Participation Mechanisms

Résumé

In February 2008 the people of Geneva voted in favour of a new Constitution to replace the current one, written in 1847 and considered by many to be out of line with today's society. In the first part of this paper we set the context of our study and we define a framework to analyse participation and eParticipation in terms of institutional, mediated and informal political communication mechanisms. In the second part we apply it to the campaign for the election of a Constituent Assembly and we provide the preliminary results of this survey. The last part describes how we will use this framework to investigate these mechanisms during the process of writing a new Constitution. Geneva was a pioneer in terms of eVoting and we want to find out if this will be the case again in the domain of eParticipation, with what could potentially become the first Wiki-Constitution ever. However our first findings indicate that ICTs are rather an extension of current participation mechanisms and that they do not radically change or renew them.
