Editor's Notes
- The international Journal of Public Administration in the Digital Age (IJPADA) Information in this journal has been taken from the Idea Group Inc. (IGI) Global Journal Website [http://www.igi-global.com/journal/international-journal-public-administration-digital/70583]. Coverage The IJPADA journal looks at the developing and developed countries in terms of the implications of Information technology and public administration. In this journal, the research papers published are always original. These research papers are only acceptable for publication if they focus on novel and groundbreaking technologies and their implications on public service delivery in both for-profit and non-profit companies. Further, the IJPADA journal publishes case studies that explore the use of innovations in technology in various countries. Key Journal Audiences The audience for this journal is students, manager in public offices, citizens receiving services from public offices, researchers, and public sector professionals. Article selection Technological progression continually redefines the link between the government and the served public through attempts to eliminate unprecedented challenges and opportunities to propagate democracy.
- Summary In this article, the authors evaluated and scrutinized the need to improve Greek Government’s accountability and transparency to its citizens in the wake of strong economic recession. Today, Greek citizens are disenchanted with politics substantially while holding a cynical perspective towards their representatives in government (Karamagioli, et al., 2014, p. 39). The authors reassessed Greek’s present bottom-up initiatives applying data from the transparency and trust promotion project named Diavgeia. From the findings, Karamagioli et al. (2014, p. 39) revealed the positive role of open government techniques in the definition of fresh relationship between citizens and policy makers for the purpose of democratic societies (Anthopoulos & Fitsilis, 2014, pp. 15-16). One of the major roles is the improvement in government transparency in public sector operation. The higher the level of transparency, the higher the public participates thereby elevating democratization (Ohemeng & Ofosu-Adarkwa, 2014, pp. 38-40). Critical analysis The research assists in the understanding the implication of general technology and specific Open systems on the society and the implications on the lives of the citizens. The research offers reliable and valid information and data that other researchers or audience can use to promote their understanding of government transparency and accountability (Gaventa & McGee, 2013, p. s4). For the citizens, the paper offers valuable information for use in ensuring effective public spending, elimination of corruption’s leaky pipes, and promoting results that are more noticeable. Diavgeia project as used by Karamagioli, et al. (2014) refers to Greek’s government clarity programme for distributing all decisions on the internet. According to Goel, et al. (2014), the use of ICT tools in public sector is crucial in leading transformational modification in public functions, processes, and policy. As a result, ICT promotes redefinition of the interactions between the government and the people thereby empowering citizens to develop the society.
- Analysis of the article using cling’s structure Using Kling (1994) Framework, the article falls under Technological Utopianism. As utopian writers, Karamagioli, Staiou, & Gouscos (2014) portray the desire for Greek to have a transparent government something they desire as a human good. Additionally, the authors demonstrate that with a transparent government the nation will not only manage to deal with corruption but also manage to offer its citizens efficient and reliable public services. These improvements will ensure that the government heals from the previous corrupt regimes.
- Summary In this article, the focus is to break down digital governance evolution in Canada’s public sector. This dissection is crucial given the invention and increasing use of cloud computing globally. For Canada, the public sector utilized cloud computing to form Gov 2.0. This application resulted to transformation in the society and government Roy (2014, pp. 75-77). Society transformation is fundamental but result to increased tension between the novel and emerging technology and the ancient proprietary concepts. Consequently, citizens could end up locked up into inflexible electronic systems (Letch, 2008, p. 284). In addition, the government could end up offering services that do not meet citizen requirements to their satisfaction especially where traditional concepts are not integrated with novel innovations. The authors state that the future of the public sector in Canada must go beyond addressing transparency and accountability to integrating both traditional and new innovations for higher-level open source and mutual openness (Chen & Hsieh, 2014). Integration is crucial in setting the pace to dealing with data management challenges in the future. Critical Analysis In this article, the authors perform an exploratory case study of cloud computing in the entire Canadian public sector. The research also involves using examples and initiatives from all levels of governance both in form of shared and individual efforts. This empirical perspective facilitates drawing lessons and implications of both cloud computing and traditional mindsets. Venkatraman supports some of the lessons resulting from the study by recommending the need to overcome integration barriers by simplifying Public sector services provision through IT (2013, p. 24). According to Pike (2013, p. 32), Socrata’s GovState is a successful example of using cloud computing in US public sector. The system facilitates data sharing with US public to measure efficiencies observed by cities, states, or agencies in meeting their goals.
- Analysis of the article using Kling’s Framework The authors use technological anti-utopianism to demonstrate that although the Canadian society will benefit from the introduction of new Gov 4.0 cloud computing form of government management system, the tensions resulting from the integration of traditional system to the new system will result to government services that do not satisfactorily meet the needs of the citizens. In this article, technology is a tool of destruction of history where only the data in on format, history, memory itself, is overwhelmed. In the case of Canada, only the data that is deliverable by the government system will be admitted in to the system.
