Strengthening democracy in Africa with the Internet : a comparative study of South Africa, Kenya and Zambia

For the first time since democracy in the classical Greek sense became practically impossible, the Internet's networking facilities are creating opportunities again for all citizens to be active, engaging participants in democracy.
