About the Book

The e-governance revolution is said to be changing everything in the public sector. However, will all the modelling tools, electronic meeting management systems and online consultations really change political judgment in policy formulation? Using new case studies from local and national government in the USA, the UK and Europe, E-Governance examines these claims in detail. Perri 6 presents a distinctive account of what political judgment actually is, considered as an organisational process. He then presents a new theory of how policy-makers use and reject information and do and do not trust each other with information in using the new tools, before analysing the implications for democracy. The book concludes by identifying some practical ways forward for policy-makers.

Review :
'This is a path-breaking work on the actual and potential use of electronic tools in public sector decision making. It combines fascinating case studies on leading edge applications with a thought-provoking model of institutional styles of policy making, and challenges us to imagine how the various players in the model would incorporate these electronic tools into their work. It should be required reading for anyone concerned with the future of e-governance.' - Sandford Borins, Professor of Public Management, University of Toronto 'Governments everywhere are pushing the boundaries of technology. In this important new analysis, Perri 6 carefully charts the rise of this movement in political terms and its use in shaping the judgments of policy makers. He provides strong and persuasive arguments on a central puzzle of the information age: if and how it can strengthen governance. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the effects of modern technology on government.' - Donald F. Kettl, University of Wisconsin, Madison, USA
