Abstract: This paper investigates whether eParticipation projects in Korean government websites lead to meaningful participation in terms of the level of deliberative quality and influence on the government policy-making processes, as compared to Habermasian ideas of the TCA/ISS (Theory of Communicative Action/ Ideal Speech Situation) and Communicative Power (CP). For this study, two eParticipation programmes from the Kukmin Chamyao Madang (KCM: Citizen Participatory Space) are chosen to investigate the internal process of eParticipation practices with regards to the deliberative quality and the impact on actual policy-making. The conclusion examines whether the internal process and nature of eParticipation complies with the Habermasian public deliberation model.
