    Section 7. Critical Issues

    This section contains over 20 chapters addressing issues, such as the digital public sphere, electronic government in business adoption, information security, e-democracy, deliberative democracy, and the digital rights managements process, to name a few. Within the chapters, the reader is presented with an in-depth analysis of the most current and relevant issues within this growing field of study. Issues, such as the growing threats to intellectual freedom through the loss of the information commons in the U.S., are discussed. Crucial questions are addressed and alternatives offered, such as the main conceptual dimensions of electronic government, while critically assess both the current responses and future prospects of Canada’s public sector. Rounding out this section is an analysis of the extent to which local authorities in England and Wales have responded to the e-democracy agenda by examining their Web sites and assessing their potential to deliver democracy.
