Career in academia
Between 1999 and 2006, Lusoli has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals[1] on topics related to electronic democracy and e-participation. Especially, he contributed to literature the use of web services by political parties [2], by political party members [3], by political representatives[4], by trade unions[5], by various political organisations, and by citizens in several countries[6]. 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[7].
