The use of information and communication technologies to support public administrations and decision makers, known as e-Government, has been evolving for over 20 years. As the world moves towards open governance, electronic participation and citizen engagement have emerged as crucial areas for both decision makers and citizens, leading to various pilot projects and innovative approaches in the last decade. Contributions from leading researchers present the latest findings, including theoretical foundations, methodologies, architectures, technical frameworks, and lessons learned in open, collaborative governance and online citizen engagement. The book is structured into three sections: the first, “Public Policy Debate Foundations,” discusses processes for scoping, planning, and evaluating citizen engagement. The second section, “Information and Communication Technologies for Citizen Participation,” offers practical strategies for creating collaborative governance infrastructures. The final section critiques past developments and outlines future research directions in ICT-enabled governance. Targeted at academic researchers and graduate students in computer, social, political, and management sciences, the book also serves practitioners in e-Governance, public administration officials, and ICT professionals involved in policy modeling and e-Governance projects.
