Empowering Open and Collaborative Governance
The use of information and communication technologies to support public administrations, governments and decision makers has been recorded for more than 20 years and dubbed e-Government. Moving towards open governance roadmaps worldwide, electronic participation and citizen engagement stand out as a new domain, important both for decision makers and citizens; and over the last decade, there have been a variety of related pilot projects and innovative approaches. With contributions from leading researchers, Charalabidis and Koussouris provide the latest research findings such as theoretical foundations, principles, methodologies, architectures, technical frameworks, cases and lessons learnt w...
Legitimacy, Power, and Inequalities in the Multistakeholder Internet Governance
This book aims to develop a critical understanding of multistakeholder governance in Internet Governance through an in-depth analysis of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) transition, the process through which the U.S. Government transferred its traditional oversight role over the Domain Name System to the global Internet community. In the last few decades, multistakeholderism has become the dominant discourse in the Internet Governance field, mainly because of its promise to provide democratic legitimacy for transnational policymaking, although empirical research has highlighted disappointing performances of multistakeholder arrangements. This book contributes to the debate on multistakeholder governance by analyzing the IANA Transition process's normative legitimacy, broken down in the dimensions of input legitimacy (inclusiveness, balanced representation, and representativeness), throughput legitimacy (procedural and discursive quality), and output legitimacy (outcome and institutional effectiveness). Findings warn about the risk that multistakeholderism could result in a misleading rhetoric legitimizing existing power asymmetries.

Through the years, both of these conferences have established themselves as leading scientific events in their field, providing a forum for scholars ...
Voluntary Disruptions
From home mortgages to i-phones, basic elements of our daily lives depend on international economic markets. The astonishing complexity of these exchanges may seem ungoverned. Yet the global economy remains deeply bound by rules. Far from the staid world of treaties and state-to-state diplomacy, economic governance increasingly relies on a different class of international market regulation - soft law - comprised of voluntary standards, best practices, and recommended guidance created by a motley assortment of international organizations. Voluntary Disruptions argues that international soft law is deeply political, shaping the winners and losers of globalization. Some observers focus on soft ...
Open Government, Staat und Demokratie
Open Government gilt vielfach als die universale Staatsdoktrin für das 21. Jahrhundert, ohne dass schon klar wäre, was sich im Einzelnen hinter diesem Schlagwort verbirgt und was daraus für die Praxis des Regierens und Verwaltens folgt. In diesem Band untersucht der Autor alle Bauteile dieser Konstruktion kritisch: das Paradigma der Offenheit, dem sich alles unterordnen soll, die drei Säulen Transparenz, Partizipation und Kollaboration, die das Ganze tragen sollen, aber auch die technischen und ideologischen Fundamente, auf denen das Modell ruht. Im Zentrum steht dabei stets die Frage, was Open Government für Staat und Demokratie hierzulande bedeuten würde. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass...
