Wainer Lusoli (born March, 1 1974) is an Italian academic and political scientist. He has worked on issues concerning electronic democracy and, more recently, digital identity.

From 2008, he has been a Scientific Officer at the Joint Research Centre (European Commission)[1] and a Honorary Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Chester. Prior to this, he was a Senior Lecturer at the University of Chester and a Research Fellow at the University of Salford and at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Early life and education

Born in Sassuolo, Italy, Lusoli grew up in Sassuolo, Italy and earned a Laurea in Political Science and from the University of Bologna, an Master's degree in European Political Systems and Cultures from the University of Bologna, Network Europaeum, and a PhD from the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Career in academia

Between 1999 and 2006, Lusoli has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals[2] on topics related to electronic democracy and e-participation. Especially, he contributed to literature the use of web services by political parties [3], by political party members [4], by political representatives[5], by trade unions[6], by various political organisations, and by citizens in several countries[7]. In his overall work on electronic democracy, he arrives at the sobering conclusion that electronic media may have little to offer in terms of democratic engagement[8].

In relation to Internet and politics, he worked on several research projects funded by the Economics and Social Research Council and other funding bodeis, mainly in collaboration with Rachel K. Gibson and Stephen Ward. These include the ‘Virtual Observatory for Online Networks: New Forms of Collective Action on the WWW’ (July 2006 – July 2008)[9]; DEMO-net: The eParticipation Network, as affiliated expert (December 2006 – December 2008)[10]; ESRC - The Internet in the 2005 general election (March 2005 – December 2005)[11].

From 2007 to today, he has contributed to the policy debate and to the academic literature on digital identity. He has researched digital natives's attitudes and behaviours regarding personal identity data disclosure[12]; he has written on the policy and regulatory aspects of digital identity in Europe[13]; he has written on the economics of identity markets [14].

Conferences, public speaking and the media

Lusoli has been relatively active in public fora and academic conferences for about a decade, presenting his work to academics and policy-makers in several countries. He is not a public figure, as his work has not received broadcast media attention, exception made for a few references in the British press, in relation to academic-related work.
