Democratic engagement

21 Jan 2010

The purpose of this Democratic Engagement Domain Report is to outline a conceptual framework and set of indicators for the Institute of Wellbeing to measure the health of democratic engagement in Canada. [...] An important recommendation in the First Interim Report, based on the findings contained within the overview of the literature and environmental scan of civic engagement in Canada, was to change the name of the domain from “Civic” Engagement to “Democratic” Engagement. [...] Section 2 outlines the scope of the overall Democratic Engagement Domain project and provides a schematic of the research methodology employed in the development of the literature review, environmental scan, and indicator catalogue. [...] Research Plan 5 2.2 Scope of Democratic Engagement Review The scope of the Democratic Engagement Review was defined by three factors: 1) the relationship to other CIW domains, 2) a focus on the Canadian context; and 3) direction from the Project Management Team regarding the depth of analysis required. [...] The scope of the Democratic Engagement Review provides a unique focus on the concept of democracy and governance as it relates to: 1) individual engagement in the democratic process; 2) government engagement and the process of governance in a democratic society; and, 3) global engagement of Canada, our citizens and governments in a global context.
