1. Governance And Information Technology
From Electronic Government to Information Government
The book examines how information technologies are reshaping institutions, practices, and processes of public governance—shifting many state functions toward networked, information-centric modes of policy-making and service delivery—and explores how this transformation creates opportunities for greater transparency, participation, efficiency, and evidence-based regulation while also producing new risks such as privacy erosion, accountability gaps, digital divides, and concentrated informational power, arguing that legal frameworks and institutional design must be rethought to capture benefits and manage vulnerabilities.
