On January 2009, President Obama signed the Memorandum on
Transparency and Open Government. The memorandum declares the new
Administration's commitment to creating an unprecedented level of
openness in Government and establishing a system linking three
principles: transparency, public participation and collaboration.
Since then, federal agencies in the United States and public
administrations around the world have embarked on open government
initiatives and have worked to redefine their relationship with
citizens and with each other. On September 20th, 2011, eight
governments gathered in New York City to launch the Open Government
Partnership, a new multilateral initiative to promote open
government. The benefits attributed to open government are many and
by no means universally shared. They include the claims that open
government leads to more effective decision making and services,
safeguards against corruption, enables public scrutiny, and
promotes citizens' trust in government. However, the speed of
events and pressure to implement has given rise to confusion and
ambiguity. Although many of the initiatives have been based on
opening data and on promoting open action, governments have
followed different directions and interpretations when it has come
to implement them and development of open government has become
unequal and heterogeneous. This book provides a comprehensive study
of recent major developments of open government around the world,
and analyzes the importance of open government efforts for public
governance, making it of interest to academics and practitioners
worldwide.
