Inhaltsangabe

In this open access book, the editors bring together leading experts from around the globe to examine current trends and key developments concerning digitalization policies and mechanisms in nine federal and decentralized countries. Despite the concept of digitalization gaining momentum amid the rampant employment of technological resources to perform governmental activities in recent years, little has been said about the specific effects of digitalization in federal arrangements. Though there are challenges to advancing digitalization in federal systems, federal countries are also well-positioned to build on policy learning to leverage digital services. Contributors to this volume provide a timely and comprehensive account of the implications of and relationships between intergovernmental relations, collaborative action, the implementation of digital policies, and accountability in federal systems. These individual analyses are then contextualized comparatively to gain a holistic understanding of the challenges and opportunities for the digitalization of public administration in different regions worldwide.
