Resumen de Collaborative Decision Analysis and e-Democracy.

Román Efremov , David Ríos Insua

• e-Democracy essentially refers to involving groups of citizens in public policy decision making through electronic means. This may be done by implementing standard political approaches based on debating and voting or through a more analytically oriented perspective. In this chapter, we review key approaches to group decision support assuming that participants adopt a decision-analytic style. We discuss how relevant are these approaches for e-democracy processes in reference to democratic theories, as well as to some specific requirements on public decision making, such as intelligibility and transparency for an average participant, scalability and implementation.
