At the same time, however, these opportunities post potential threats if they are not debated and planned for in consensuall-legitimatge ways. This article examines the current problems of representative democracy and the impact of information technology on the current and future quality of democratic governance. Four generic models of "electronic democracy" that are made possible by interactive information technologies - electronic bureaucracy, information management, populist, and civil society - are analyzed in terms of their applicability and impact. Information technology's impact on the roles, responsibilities, and accountability of citizens, elected representatives, the media, and corporations is also examined.
