The application of e-government technologies has led to increased
public participation and social inclusion, while allowing for
greater government transparency. These technologies provide
accessibility to online content and services while offering the
public an active voice in governmental issues. E-Governance and
Social Inclusion: Concepts and Cases presents current and emerging
research about the implementation of technology in government and
its broad social implications. This handbook aims to be a
comprehensive reference publication for academicians, researchers,
practitioners, students, and managers with an interest in
e-government content and the ability for the public to access and
utilize this technology.
The Singapore 2011 General Election was dubbed by some as the first
'Internet' election. How far is this true and to what extent did
old and new media influence voting behaviour and political
participation? What was the role of Facebook, Twitter, party
political websites, political discussion and the alternative and
conflicting information offered online? What theoretical insights
can be gleaned about media and its use by voters? This edited
volume provides an in-depth analysis of these questions through a
first-ever survey of media use, political traits, political
participation and attitudes towards media, and through experiments,
content analysis and interviews.This landmark collection of essays
also lays the groundwork for understanding future elections,
including the next general election. It also serves as a valuable
record of the state of affairs on the ground in the rapidly
shifting dynamics of a Singapore political landscape that is
undergoing dramatic and unprecedented transformation.This book will
appeal to researchers in political communication, political science
and media communication. It will also be of interest to policy
makers, members of media, community leaders and observers of the
impact of media on politics.

Singapore underwent substantial changes during the 14-year tenure
of the country's second Prime Minister, Goh Chok Tong (1990-2004).
Coming after many years of growth and stability, the period brought
to office a new generation of political leaders whose task was to
sustain and build upon the policies of their predecessors. It was a
challenging period, punctuated by the Asian financial crisis of
1998 and the SARS epidemic in 2003. The 45 essays collected in this
volume review a range of issues from domestic politics and foreign
policy to economic development, society, culture, the arts and
media, and assess the legacy of Goh Chok Tong's premiership.
