Open Government and Freedom of Information : Policy and Practice in Asia and the Middle East Hardback
Edited by Habib Zafarullah, Noore Alam Siddiquee
Part of the Information Technology and Global Governance series
Hardback
Description
The book examines the state of Open Government in Asia.
Drawing on thirteen country case studies and one regional study, it analyses the application of Freedom of Information methods and assesses their implications for democratic governance, particularly transparency, accountability, participation, collaboration, inclusive policymaking and technology.
The book also considers the usefulness of open participatory platforms that enable citizens’ ‘right to information’, and help them monitor and scrutinize governmental activities to ensure accountability, integrity and the quality of democracy.
Contributors to the volume evaluate Open Government and Freedom of Information arrangements and relevant issues in a particular country and adjudge their performance.
The book will appeal to scholars and students of public policy, digital governance and technology.
