Digital Era Governance

Digital-era Governance (DEG) can have uniquely positive outcomes for social problem--solving by making governance simpler for citizens and for policy-makers. By replacing the dying 'New Public Management' themes with DEG's reintegration, needs-based holism and digitalisation trends, governments facing spending cuts can work with citizens and third sector organisations to co-produce and co-create better services.

Interactive Map of Central Government Online

Blog Post
2012
ukgov2-620.png

We have collected and visualized a pilot crawl of UK Central Government websites in late 2011, showing all hyperlinks between central departments and the size of departmental web sites. This work was funded by the ESRC Internet, Public Policy and Political Science project and the JISC-funded InteractiveVis project. The UK government digital landscape is set for some major changes with the replacement of the direct.gov portal with the new gov.uk portal --- it will be interesting to see the difference in network configuration when we carry out the crawl again later this year.

Understanding Governments and Citizens On-line: Learning from E-commerce

Publication
Paper
2007

Economists studying commercial activity on-line argue that the most significant difference between on-line and off-line commerce is the ability of firms to ‘know who your customers are and treat them differently’ (Vulkan 2006), customizing prices and offerings. This difference comes from the huge amount of data generated by on-line transactions, in terms of historical records, usage statistics and real-time data. Yet in political life, governmental organizations and political parties have been far slower to use such data to improve their service offerings and devise innovative policy interventions, such as differential pricing and personalized information provision.
