Participation & Collaboration in Policy-Making

07/04/23


Too many e-government initiatives are little more than electronic versions of the old fashioned system.

Sharing power, opening up the decision-making process, forging new relationships and partnering on service delivery are the foundations of 21st-century government.

Don Tapscott, Anthony D. Williams, Dan Herman
