In response to the open consultation on the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP), ECAS has formulated recommendations aimed at creating an enabling framework for Civil Society Organizations engagement.
The purpose of this publication is to explore complementary methods to existing forms of interaction between citizens and policy-makers at EU level which foster co-decision processes using the Internet and Web 2.0 technologies.

Through crowdsourcing it is possible to go beyond national borders and engage a wider audience real-time online. This publication describes the use of crowdsourcing for policy-making in Iceland, Finland and Paris as non-exclusive examples, which show the added value of co-legislating with citizens in terms of process (wisdom of the crowd) and outcomes (increased legitimacy in the adopted policy).
