The use of information and communication technologies in public administration, known as e-Government, has evolved over the past 20 years. As the world moves towards open governance, electronic participation and citizen engagement have emerged as vital areas for both decision makers and citizens. This book features contributions from leading researchers that present the latest findings on theoretical foundations, methodologies, architectures, technical frameworks, and case studies related to open, collaborative governance and online citizen engagement. It is structured into three sections: 1. “Public Policy Debate Foundations” explores processes and methods for scoping, planning, evaluating, and transforming citizen engagement. 2. “Information and Communication Technologies for Citizen Participation” discusses practical approaches for designing collaborative governance infrastructures and enhancing citizen participation in businesses and administrations. 3. “Future Research Directions of Open, Collaborative ICT-enabled Governance” critiques past developments and outlines future challenges and research opportunities. 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, policy makers, and ICT professionals involved in governance and policy modeling projects.
