Abstract

Several of the key themes raised throughout the collection are highlighted: types or levels of participation; the questions of whether participation is genuine or not and whether it is a good thing; the contrasting processes of technologies shaping participation and of participation shaping technologies; and methods for restricting and fostering participation. This chapter ties together the different perspectives used by the authors without attempting to fit them into a mould.
