Direct Democracy Campaign

OTHER SITES

DDC is one of many groups campaigning for Direct Democracy around the world. A list of some of the more interesting sites both for Direct democracy, and for electronic democracy follows. The list is short, because these sites themselves provide links to many others.

(Unfortunately web site addresses are sometimes changed or abandoned with no forwarding links. Consequently we have decided to give the names of the various groups rather than their web addresses, as use of a search engine is often a more efficient way of finding them.)

1. C2D The research and Documentation Centre on Direct Democracy of the University of Geneva. Lots of multilingual information on all sorts of referendums worldwide. The best starting point for further research.

2. The Network for Direct Democracy Initiatives in Europe (NDDIE) This group is a relatively new but well motivated coordinating body which seeks to provide mutual help between like - minded European DD groups.

3. TAN+N2 Auburn University in the USA. A major site on electronic democracy. A large quantity of material, projects, and documents; and a web of web pages.

4. The Continuing International Congress on Direct Democracy. Details on international cooperation between groups interested in promoting the cause of Direct Democracy following on from a conference held in the Czech Republic in August 1998.
