The document presents a proposal for the interdisciplinary co-design of civic software systems. It outlines the committee overseeing the PhD defense, which includes experts from various fields like computer science, sociology, and cultural studies. The introduction discusses the context of electronic participation and civic networking platforms as socio-technical systems. It presents the problem statements around existing digitization efforts not transforming power relations, and the challenges of designing, building, and operating such complex civic systems. The objective is to develop a methodology for collaborative design adapted to stakeholders' interests and skills.

Context
(Electronic) Participation or “(e)Participation”:
“Everything that enables, broadens or deepens people’s capacity to
influence the decisions and get involved in the actions that affect
their lives ”
(including the use of ICT)” (Prieto-Martin 2012)
“Citizen participation is citizen power”
“Participation without redistribution of power is an empty
process […] [that] allows the power-holders to claim that all
sides were considered, but makes it possible for only some
of those sides to benefit. It maintains the status quo.”

5. Introduction
Problem Statement (Wide)
The application of ICT in the political process has been oriented to digitize
and enhance existing processes and practices rather than to transform the
relations of power and influence behind such practices.
Professional politicians have "resisted actively to limit the potential
revolutionary and disruptive capacity of ICTs.” (Zittel 2005, Schmitter 2011)
Problem Statement (Concrete)
a. Civic Networking Platforms are socio-technical software systems that
explicitly aim to affect complex social realities and to influence the intricate
workings of political and administrative machineries.
b. Its design, construction and operation thus involve a series of exceptional
challenges and difficulties which, in turn, demand specific and
innovative approaches.

6. Introduction
Objective & Research Questions
Trans-disciplinarily analyze the field of municipal Civic Engagement,
with the aim to devise a methodology for the collaborative
design and construction of Civic Software Systems which are
adapted to the interests, needs and skills of social and political
actors involved in local governance.

b. eDemocracy & (e)Participation – The lost decade
(Sæbø et al. 2008, Kubicek 2010, Medaglia 2012)
Leading scholars acknowledge that most of the basic issues of the field are still not solved: inter-
disciplinarity is not working, research designs tend to be flawed, socio-technical issues haven’t been
successfully addressed, institutional and political resistance toward participation has not been targeted,
etc. (Macintosh, Coleman et al. 2012)
“The research field of eParticipation suffers from lack of comprehensive theoretical contributions,
insufficient depth, and inconsistency in definitions of central concepts […] “Central problems with
eParticipation research concern immaturity of the field, topical gaps, and biased assumptions […] The
coupling of Technology – Stakeholders –(Participatory) Environments is weak” (Susha & Grönlund 2012)
Research has been rather detached from its object of study as well as disconnected from the perceptions
of research participants, and has disregarded the evaluation of the outcomes and impacts of online
engagement (Coleman & Moss 2012)
No real breakthrough or even any significant research milestone can be reported for the field, as
the same questions that were open ten years ago remain unanswered nowadays. (Prieto Martín et
al. 2012)
In a moment of self-questioning, new perspectives are emerging
(Karlsson 2012; Astrom & Grönlund 2011, Chadwick 2011; Bannister & Connolly 2012, Liston et al.

“The design of Digital Democracy Systems must start with an exhaustive and critic analysis
of previous experiences and proposals, and incorporate multi-disciplinary methodologies
(tecnological, socio-political and law) both for determining the requisites and determining
factors and for the evaluation of the system” (Carracedo Gallardo et al. 2003)

Take-aways
• ICT for Governance field needs to be analysed with a trans-disciplinary, holistic
and critical perspective.
• Projects’ designs and their evaluation strategies need to be closely linked with
their context of application.
• To successfully develop the field research needs to be at the service of societal needs,
listening to the real needs from civic organizations and democratic institutions, instead of
imposing them the researchers’ agenda.
• Civic Networking Systems (CNS) need to be created using Agile, participatory,
iterative and user-centric development models.
• We have sketched a methodology that enables a bottom-up multi-stakeholder
collaboration and offers a pragmatic guidance for researchers, social actors and
governmental institutions to co-design and co-construct sustainable Civic Networking
Systems.
Pedro Prieto-Martín, PhD Defense, UAH
39
41. Conclusions & Future Work
Limitations
• The research had a strong exploratory character.
• Wide trans-disciplinary area / limited depth.
• Its reliability and applicability are to be cautiously appraised.
• The ‘ICT for Governance’ field constitues a paradigm of a “moving
research target” within Web Science.
• Some conclusions could get obsolete quickly, as a result of technological and/or social
developments.
• The methodological approach, which has mixed tools and disciplines, is
especially prone to researcher bias.
• We tried to triangulate and apply a strong self-criticism, but this just slightly mitigates
the risk of self-deceiving.

44. Thanks for your attention
Thanks to my PhD advisors, Dr. Luis de Marcos Ortega and Dr. José Javier Martínez, for
their help, advice and support along the way. Thanks also to Jose David Carracedo Verde
and Salvador Martí i Puig for their guidance in the early stages of the doctoral research.
Thanks also to the institutions and people from the Ceará State University (Brazil) and the
Jagiellonian University (Poland), which have kindly offered their facilities and support
during my stays abroad. I specially appreciate the help provided by Professors Francisco
Horacio da Silva Frota and Alberto Teixeira from the Mestrado Acadêmico em Políticas
Públicas e Sociedade of the UECE, and by Professor Marek Skomorowski from the
Institute of Computer Science of the Jagiellonian University.
Many, many thanks to all friends who reviewed and/or commented, through all these
years, on any of the different texts and papers that make up this dissertation. And thanks
also to Don Marcelino, who struggled so hard to teach me, with so many of his students,
the crucial difference between indigenous police and autogenous welding.
Finally I want to express my eternal gratitude to all participants in the field research
developed at Fortaleza (Brazil) and Sololá (Guatemala) –especially to my buddies
from Lagun Artean, Sotz’il Jay and the Coordenadoria do Orçamento Participativo–.
It was their determination, humanity and courage what motivated me to persevere
in the most difficult moments.
