| Annotation | Information and communication technology (ICT) is changing how individuals interact with one an other, with organisations, and with Government. How this impacts social capital - that reserve of potential goodwill generated by people's social interactions - remains to a large extent unclear, and still being debated. This report is one of a series in which the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) presents independent research in key policy areas to potential users in government, politics, the media and voluntary workers. It is based largely on presentations by the researchers, Jayne Cravens of Coyote Communications and Ben Anderson of the University of Essex, and is the second in a series of seminars entitled "Engaging Citizens" organised by the ESRC in collaboration with the National Council for Voluntary Organisations (NCVO). The report draws attention to the role of the internet in, and for, voluntary and community organisations. It includes examples of internet-based projects with such organisations in mind. (RH). |
