Abstract

In this paper we examine how the transformational potential of information and communication technologies and Labour's partnership with the voluntary sector are being brought together in ways that could bring voluntary organisations more intimately within the centre-ground of the democratic polity. Drawing upon the concept of the 'information polity' we map the new patterns of influence that are emerging around the ownership and control of information as this re-positioning occurs.
