Abstract
The celebration of the professional life and work of Professor Jacques Berleur is in some way also a celebration of the many advances that have been made in information and communication technologies (ICTs). These advances have resulted in what we commonly call the Information Society, due to the pervasive nature of ICT in our everyday lives. An important aspect of Professor Berleur’s work has been his contribution to raising awareness of social and ethical issues related to the Information Society. One such issue is the impact of ICT on democracy which is the focus of the three papers in this chapter by Professor Deborah Johnson, Stefano Rodotà , and Professor Klaus Brunnstein respectively.
