Series: Routledge International Handbooks

The Routledge Handbook of Public Administration and Digital Governance is a comprehensive, cutting-edge guide for students, scholars, practitioners of public policy, public administration and digital governance.

The book demonstrates the diverse nature of ""digital government"" through a series of case studies from different regions across the globe, including Africa, the Americas, Asia and Europe. The book uses these cases to highlight various aspects and implications of the intersection of digital technologies and public administration. These include impact of practices and principles of public administration, the effects of particular technologies/tools and the relationship between state and citizen. The book also addresses barriers and enablers to the adoption of digital technology, with select chapters focusing on artificial intelligence (AI) in governmental contexts by leading practitioners and scholars. Rather than providing region-specific lessons, the cases identify common challenges, offering a more holistic understanding of public administration in the digital era.

With contributions from both practitioners and scholars, this handbook will be a compelling resource for those researching, studying or working in public administration, public leadership, information systems, political science and other related fields.

This very rich and inspiring handbook covers a huge range of topics related to electronic governance and presents insights from all around the world.

Prof. Albert Meijer, Professor of Public Innovation, Utrecht University, The Netherlands A vital book that provides an entry point on different policy and governance challenges, opportunities and constraints faced by governments in the implementation of different technologies. The contributions address different sectors, technologies and national, subnational and regional contexts in the world. They also reflect and provide evidence on the different motivations, trajectories and outcomes of these technological endeavors, both for public administrations and society. Dr. Carolina Aguerre, Associate Professor, Universidad Católica del Uruguay, Honorary Co-Director at the Centro de Estudios en Tecnología y Sociedad (CETYS), Universidad de San Andres, Argentina, and Associate Senior Fellow at the Centre for Global Cooperation Research at the University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany The editors of The International Handbook of Public Administration and Digital Governance have assembled an impressive range of authors and case studies to explore issues and practices in the digitalization of public administration. The International Handbook provides a cornucopia of resources with chapters approaching the issues from different levels of analysis, vantage points, and country experiences, as well as providing historical, theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical perspectives. This well-curated and truly global collection will be an excellent resource for advanced graduate seminars, inviting multiple lines of inquiry and encouraging discussion of issues and approaches from a comparative perspective.
