Virtual Democracy?
- Synopsis
- A debate about the value of the Internet as a tool for enhancing democracy. The programme uses two case studies: the 1995 UN World Conference on Women held in Beijing, and the 1995 Labour Party conference at Brighton. Both used the Internet to enable the ‘participation’ of people who could not attend in person.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
