Wiki Government by Beth Simone Noveck

How Technology Can Make Government Better, Democracy Stronger, and Citizens More Powerful

A concise blueprint for collaborative governance, this work argues that digital tools can transform public decision‑making by tapping distributed expertise and increasing transparency. Drawing on real-world experiments like crowd-assisted patent review, it proposes legal, organizational, and technological reforms to build participatory platforms and standards for more effective, accountable institutions. It also addresses obstacles such as privacy, quality control, incentives, and bureaucratic inertia, offering practical guidance for implementing open, citizen-driven processes.
