Assessing the Online-Offline Participation Dichotomy in the Information Age
Emergent digital technologies keep redefining the (porous, yet analytically useful) online/offline participation dichotomy, yet the study of this evolution remains fragmented across the fields of public management, digital governance, and civic culture. Drawing on a narrative literature review, this article offers a conceptual synthesis of three central debates at the intersection of digital media and citizen participation. First, whether online …

Continuity of Operations and Organisational Resilience during the Covid-19 Pandemic
This study analyses the continuity of operations and the building of organizational resilience efforts in nine city governments from the Northeast region in the US during the COVID-19 pandemic. We find that city governments were able to keep internal operations and the delivery of public services, but only to some extent. Information technology was a key enabler for the implementation of teleworking and a hybrid model of public service delivery t…
Artificial intelligence and public administration
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become one of the most prominent topics in public policy and administration studies over the last years. Despite the attention to AI in this field isn’t entirely new, the universality of these group of technologies has radically increased the attention of scholars around the globe. This expansion of AI in the public sector entails the exploration of renovated foundations of analysis, not only to understand the nov…
Understanding the importance of collaborative problem formulation for data analytics
Data analytics (DA) use has been frequently considered a transformational practice in the public sector, particularly in terms of its potential for data-driven decision making by local governments. Despite growing interest from academics and practitioners, empirical research on what cities are actually doing regarding DA and how is still relatively scarce, particularly in terms of a focus on specific activities and processes. Based on a socio-tec…
Characterizing technology affordances, constraints, and coping strategies for information dissemination to the public
Disseminating information to the public is critical in emergency management. Thanks to technological advances in recent decades, governments can instantly reach citizens through multiple channels. Existing research on emergency messaging indicates that the effectiveness of messaging depends on multiple factors, including receivers' characteristics, message content and style, as well as the social and political contexts. However, what is still mis…
Open government data initiatives as agents of digital transformation in the public sector
Exploring the negative impacts of artificial intelligence in government
This research proposes a framework for the negative impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) in government by classifying 14 topics of its dark side into five socio technical categories. The framework is based on a systematic literature review and highlights that the dark side is predominantly driven by political, legal, and institutional aspects, but it is also influenced by data and technology. Lack of understanding of AI outcomes, biases, and e…
Making Sense of Open Government
In the last decade, open government has been considered a powerful tool for administrative reform and governance transformation, particularly through transparency improvements and citizen engagement strategies. Although extensive research has been conducted on open government during this period, most studies highlight its links to information access and transparency and do not explicitly analyze other components related to citizen engagement, suc…
Inteligencia artificial y planeación presupuestaria en México
Public budgeting is a complex process that depends on multiple factors, including the consideration of scarce resources and the quality of available information. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to discover models that help explain complex social phenomena, such as the budget planning. However, currently there is little work exploring the application of AI in this context. This paper aims to propose an algorithmic perspective for th…
Exploring emergent collaborations for digital transformation in local governments
Collaboration is increasingly perceived as essential for digital transformation in the public sector. Transforming services and internal operations through the use of information and communication technologies frequently requires the engagement of multiple stakeholders beyond government agencies. This is particularly important in the specific case of smart city initiatives, which intend to leverage technologies to address complex socio-economic a…
Analyzing open government policy adoption through the multiple streams framework
Open government is expected to promote important changes related to transparency, participation, and collaboration in the public sector. This article analyzes the open government policy-making process in Madrid. In order to explain the adoption process of open government as a public policy, this study uses the “multiple streams framework,” originally developed by Kingdon and recently elaborated on by Zahariadis and Herweg et al. Our empirical dat…

The effects of open government data on the inclusiveness of governance networks
In order to improve legitimacy, accountability and effectiveness for both policy making and service delivery, governance networks can benefit from the knowledge, skills and other key resources of external actors. However, these networks are often prone to social and cognitive exclusion of outsiders, reducing the potential benefits of greater inclusiveness and diversity. Inclusiveness within governance networks is defined here as the possibility f…
