Abstract:
The nature of governance is rapidly changing, due to new technologies which expand public sector capabilities. This book examines the most important dimensions of managing information technology in the public sector. It explores the impact of information technology on governmental accountability and distribution of power, the implications of privatization as an IT business model, and the global governance of information technology. It provides a fresh look at the evolution of federal technology and political accountability in governmental information systems, and includes descriptions of general policy and technical applications, as well as practical implementation guidelines.
