Description & Coverage
Description:

Web 2.0 can create value for political processes by decreasing costs and increasing opportunities for civic engagement, and, as a result, will likely affect the future of governance.

Public Service, Governance and Web 2.0 Technologies: Future Trends in Social Media investigates the effects of Web technologies and social media on interaction and the political process. Researchers, government administrators, and policymakers will benefit from the book's examination of e-governance in an increasingly complex and interdependent world. Readers will learn to use Web technologies to address local and global problems and improve systems of governance, social equity, economic activity, sustainability, service delivery, transparency, and the ethical and legal dimensions of public service.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Citizen Mobilization
  • Citizen Participation
  • E-Governance
  • Public Administration and Social Media
  • Public Management
  • Public Service and Social Media
  • Social Media
  • Social Problem-Solving
  • Web 2.0 and Social Interaction
  • Web 2.0 Technologies and Public Service
Reviews & Statements

Average citizens and internet users may currently value social interactions more than they value interaction with governmental units and public policy. This does not mean that circumstances are unchanging since generational shifts and new understandings will eventually cause Web 2.0 technologies and successor developments to have profound impacts on governmental operations. [...] My expectation is that this book will be a good resource for the practitioner and the policy maker and will be especially valued by the E-Government researcher.
