Technology and Public Management
At last, here is a textbook that covers the field of technology and public management in an informative and engaging style. Ever since the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration required greater infusion of technology into the curriculum, faculty and administrators have struggled with finding the right course materials designed specifically for the public administration environment. Technology is no longer the sole domain of an information technology office, as it has evolved into a growing set of complex tools that influence every area of government. To be effective, every public manager needs to be actively engaged in technology decisions. This textbook is des...

CIO Leadership for Cities and Counties - Emerging Trends and Practices
This is the updated, second edition where 85 percent of content is completely revised or new. The book takes a comprehensive look at the essential elements of CIO Leadership for cities and counties. The 30 chapter book covers leadership, strategic planning, technology practices, innovation, cyber security, cloud services, civic engagement, digital ethics, as well as human resources and the future. While a number of books have been published that target the CIO and technology in general, this book was developed exclusively to meet the needs and interests of local government officials. The book is written by leading experts and practitioners from the government and private sectors. With the broad overview of topics that the book addresses, and because it is written in a non-technical manner, the book appeals to a wide number of individuals with an interest in and responsibility for technology programs in the public sector.

Innovative Solutions for Creating Sustainable Cities
How do we prepare for and manage the challenges and the transformations that are increasingly confronting cities? Solutions are necessary for the impacts expected from the global population movement toward urban centres; the evolution of technologies and its influence on the economy; the evolving socio-cultural fabric of our cities and what it means for citizen engagement and happiness; and for the increasing need to protect and better manage the environment. The series of essays presented here will help governments, organizations, and concerned citizens think differently about ways we can improve the places we call home. It will stimulate local stakeholders to move away from silo-thinking and work collaboratively toward innovative solutions to make cities more liveable and sustainable. The volume brings together international experts on development, innovation, education, health, digitalization, and planning to provide stimulating new ideas and successful examples of tools and systems being used worldwide to improve the future of cities.

Deliberative Governance for Sustainable Development
Deliberative Governance for Sustainable Development argues that governance has become the core problem of sustainable development and identifies deliberative democracy and governance as a path forward for Western societies. In this book the author puts forward three messages. Firstly, while sustainable development theoretically is a common good of all people, it is in practice constantly associated with a multitude of smaller and larger conflicts. These conflicts arise repeatedly because, in practice, the benefits, costs and risks of sustainable development are unequally distributed and therefore form a massive barrier to sustainable development. As a result, sustainable development depends ...
