The first component of this project will examine civic association websites. The grantee will gather data on the features, functionalities, and incoming and outoing hyperlinks of approximately 1600 prominent civil society websites in four East Central European countries (Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic). Replicating a study conducted in 2002 will enable charting the dynamics of civil society website organization. Questions such as the following will be addressed:o Overall, did websites move towards including interactive features? o Were some genre forms of online civil organizing more likely to inhibit website development, making it significantly less likely that websites were updated? o Is there more transnationalization after EU accession?o How do the websites of civic associations differ from government websites in East Central Europe? For comparative purposes, the research team will gather the same kinds of data on civic associations in:1) two other recent entrants to the European Union from the Baltic states, Estonia, Latvia, or Lithuania, 2) two other countries that entered the European Union in a previous round of accession, most likely Ireland and Spain, 3) four core West European countries, Britain, France, Germany, and Italy, and 4) Russia and the United States. The project will also analyze survey data on 1000 of the largest civic associations in Hungary. The comprehensive questionnaire will include questions on technology use, the mission of the organization; its objectives, goals, and values; the types of activities it undertakes (e.g., demonstrations, petitions, lobbying, educating the public, conferences, and so on); patterns of technology adoption; patterns of funding; forms of organizational decision-making; patterns of accountability; and types of partnerships, collaborations, and linkages to other organizations.

该项目的第一个组成部分将审查公民协会网站。受助方将收集中东欧四个国家（匈牙利、波兰、斯洛伐克和捷克共和国）约1600个著名公民社会网站的特征、功能和进出超链接的数据。复制2002年进行的一项研究将有助于绘制民间社会网站组织的动态图。以下问题将被解决：o总体而言，网站是否朝着包括互动功能的方向发展？o某些类型的在线公民组织形式是否更有可能抑制网站的发展，使网站更新的可能性大大降低？加入欧盟后是否会有更多的跨国企业？o公民协会的网站与中东欧国家的政府网站有何不同？为了进行比较，研究小组将收集以下国家公民协会的相同类型数据：1)最近加入欧盟的另外两个波罗的海国家，爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚或立陶宛；2)在前一轮加入欧盟的另外两个国家，最有可能是爱尔兰和西班牙；3)四个西欧核心国家，英国、法国、德国和意大利；4)俄罗斯和美国。该项目还将分析匈牙利1000个最大的公民协会的调查数据。全面的调查表将包括有关技术使用、组织使命的问题；它的目标、目标和价值；它所从事的活动类型（例如，示威、请愿、游说、教育公众、会议等）；技术采用模式；筹资方式；组织决策的形式；问责模式；以及伙伴关系、协作和与其他组织的联系的类型。
