Administration by algorithm
Algorithmic decision-making is neither a recent phenomenon nor one necessarily associated with artificial intelligence (AI), though advances in AI are increasingly resulting in what were heretofore human decisions being taken over by, or becoming dependent on, algorithms and technologies like machine learning. Such developments promise many potential benefits, but are not without certain risks. These risks are not always well understood. It is no…
The future ain't what it used to be
The art of scholarly reviewing
The quality and reputation of an academic journal can depend on several factors, but high-quality peer reviews are always a core requirement. Unfortunately, reviews are not always up to the standard that they should be. Poor reviews can result in a number of problems including sub-standard articles being accepted and good manuscripts being rejected. Good reviews are comparable to good papers; they require attention and dedication to write well. A…
The fourth power
Western liberal capitalist democracy is in trouble. In many democratic countries, for the first time since the second world war, nationalism, populism and the strong leader who can sort out the problems have re-emerged in force. Some democracies seem to be reverting to forms of autocracy which many thought they had left behind. ICT is a contributory factor to this trend. Contrary to the techno-optimism of the 1990s and early 2000s which forecast …
Towards a model for facilitating and enabling co-creation using open government data
In recent years there have been initiatives in many countries which seek to encourage and facilitate co-creation using Open Government Data (OGD). This article describes a research project whose objectives were to investigate the factors that contribute to creating a vibrant co-creation ecosystem built around the use of OGD and to build a model which participants can use as a framework for aiding in co-creation processes. To develop this model mu…
The great theory hunt
Open data licensing
In discussions of open government data (OGD) the question of how such data should be licensed or whether they need to be licensed at all has to date received only limited attention in the academic literature. This paper seeks to make a contribution to reducing this gap. In order to do this, the con cept of an open licence is first defined. Then, using a study of the extant literature and an examination of current open data licences, the challenge…
ICT, public values and transformative government
Barriers to open data release
The pressure for governments to release much of the vast reservoir of data that they collectively hold continues to grow. This pressure is grounded not just in principles such as the right of the public to know or freedom of information, but in belie
ICT, Public Administration and Democracy in the Coming Decade
The physicist Neils Bohr allegedly wrote that Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future. Many academics believe that serious scholars should never attempt to write about the future, but some awareness of the ways in which the future of e-government may evolve is needed if well-grounded long-term decisions about issues such as infrastructures, institutions and educational programs are to be made. In addition, future-oriented resear…
Forward to the past
While the development of e-government since the early 1990s has been characterized by many successful applications and systems, it has also been notable for a number of failures to fully realise visions and for several stalled ideas. Governments, professionals and indeed scholars have a tendency to embrace the latest technological developments before older ones have been fully exploited or in some cases even fully understood and this can leave a …
The Trouble with Transparency
Transparency in public administration is generally held to be desirable, something to be fostered and enabled. This long standing idea has gained considerable further momentum with the emergence of e‐government and the affordances of computing in general and the Internet in particular. This paper examines the argument that transparency may, in certain and not uncommon circumstances, be inimical to good government and good governance and suggests …
O(ver)-Government
One of the core divides in politics is between those who believe government should have a greater role and those who want to restrict or roll back the state. Until relatively recently, this debate has been carried on at a broad or macro level; it was about levels of public expenditure, privatization of state functions, social welfare, government control of schools or workplace safety regulation. Developments in technology are now bringing this de…

Trust and transformational government
Using public administration theory to analyze public innovation
The study of innovation associated with ICT has been strong on the agenda of academics for many years.This focus can be seen as a response to the continuous effort of practitioners in public administration to innovate both public organizations and policies through the use of information and communication technologies.Such innovations offer the prospect of improving public administration without messy political choices being necessary, with the rh…
Interpreting the 'Culture Variable' in the Study of Informatization in Public Administration. Selected papers from the 2007 conference of the European Group of Public Administration
‘Culture’ is an encompassing theme in social science, yet one with which researchers struggle. In 2007, the European Group of Public Administration [EGPA] conference was held in Madrid, with culture as its theme. As group directors of the permanent study group on ICT in Public Administration we invited researchers to submit papers that dealt with the various dimensions of the relationship between ICTs, public administration and culture. We found …
The curse of the benchmark
Benchmarking of e-government and the information society is a booming business. This phenomenon raises several interesting questions. Why does this particular part of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) world receive so much of this type of attention? Why are there so many benchmarks? What do they purport to measure? Who reads these and how much credence is given to them? Do they play a valuable role in advancing e-government and …
The perspective of Janus
Public Administration in the Information Society
Risk and trust are interlocking issues, thrown into the social, political and managerial foreground as governments pursue their responses to the development of the information society. Transformations in the ways in which information is gathered, stored, transmitted and shared throughout government and the wider polity, raise a variety of concerns across the spectrum of scholarship and public commentary. As the use of ICT becomes virtually ubiqui…

Advances in technology and changes in the way that we communicate and store information have steadily increased the vulnerability of informational privacy. This vulnerability is compounded by a combination of increased concerns about citizen security
Pirates, sharks and moral crusaders
File sharing in peer–to–peer (p2p) networks is a popular pastime for millions of Internet users and a source of concern for copyright holders and for many others who fear the worldwide spread of offensive and illegal content. As file sharing proliferates, the question is what can and should be done to regulate this practice. Can and should governments cooperate to develop stricter laws and regulations and invest in wide–scale international cooper…
The virtual public servant
In recent years, the Irish Government has launched a number of e-Government initiatives. The most ambitious of these is Reach, a project to develop a Public Services Broker (PSB) which will at once be a public sector portal, a public data vault, an inter-agency broker and an authentication system. If successful, this development could result in certain public services becoming virtual, i.e. being provided entirely from or by machines. The origins…
