This Research Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of scholarship on open government, with insights into novel concepts, approaches, and trends. Expert editors and contributing authors explore how the emergence of digital technologies has accelerated the promotion of open governments across the globe, as well as research developments in the field.
Chapters cover the three main pillars of open government: transparency, participation, and collaboration; and delineate their practical applications in a wide array of policy domains. Authors expand on the progress of open government implementation and evaluate emerging trends, such as blockchain technology, user-centered design, and user experience, as well as mis- and dis-information. This Research Handbook highlights the impact of open government initiatives and creates a better understanding of their various components and results, and the interplay between the two.
This is an essential reference for academics, researchers, and students of public policy, administration, regulation, and governance. It is also of great interest to policymakers and governmental actors interested in innovation and emergent technologies, and how these are applicable to global policies and open governments.
