SI 533 - Digital Government 2: Information Technology and Democratic Administration, Winter 2007

Abstract

This seven-week course is the second in a two-part sequence exploring contemporary practices, challenges, and opportunities at the intersection of information technology and democratic governance. This second half of the course takes on emerging directions in democratic administration and the shifting role of information technologies in supporting, transforming, and understanding these. The course locates recent and emerging digital or e-government initiatives in historical, institutional, and comparative context. Throughout, we will explore a range of local, national, and international cases in which new informational forms and practices have met with and in some cases, begun to alter the traditional art and practice of democratic administration.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/64967/5/533_readings.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/64967/6/533_syllabus.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/64967/7/Tim_Garin_Case_Precis.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/64967/8/533_Asgnment_1.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/64967/9/Timothy_Vollmer_533_term_paper.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/64967/10/533_Asgnment_2.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/64967/11/si533-winter2007.zi
