Central to this thesis are questions about internet’s potential in renewing informed and critical public opinion, and the adaptation of institutions of representative democracy to contemporary notions of public sphere, information consumption, communication and political participation patterns. To overcome limitations of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in political communication, a reorientation strategy for political organizations is introduced. This strategy increases visibility of weakly organized civil society and individualized forms of political participation in public sphere, while maintaining necessary integrity of democratic regimes. Theoretical notions, approbated in the analysis of internet communication of Latvian political parties, constitute normative and methodological framework which can be applied for introducing and evaluating different ICT applications of civil participation.
