This ground-breaking study provides a balanced investigation into
the significance of the so-called 'information age' to contemporary
government. It examines available perspectives on the relationship
between information and communication technology and social change,
and applies them to the organization and practice of governing and
governance in the UK. In particular, it assesses current debates on
the New Public Management, the reinvention of government, the new
public consumerism and 'electronic democracy' in the light of these
perspectives. It explores policy stances towards the 'information
superhighway' andthe likely effects on future public services. The
authors believe that the capabilities associated with information
and communication technologies are of immense potential
significance for government. At the same time, the authors adopt a
critical stance towards the assumption that information-age
technology will lead directly and quickly to dramatic or radical
change. A key theme of the book, therefore, is the power of
existing governmental institutions and traditions and how these
shape and contain technologically-supported innovation. It is in
developing this theme that the book makes its major theoretical
contribution to public administration and management.
