Networked communication technologies have drastically changed the relationship between States and their citizens. This fundamental shift has eased civilians' ability to access information and organise groups like never before, creating the need to re-examine existing theories. Revolutionizing the Interaction between State and Citizens through Digital Communications evaluates the relationship between governments and their constituents, and how this relationship is impacted by emerging technologies. Discussing both developed and underdeveloped nations, this book provides a comparison for the ongoing shift in societies, serving as a critical reference for legal professionals, activists, government employees, academics, and students.

Countries at different points of development are affected differently by shifts in the ability to access information. These changes require the action of governments to cope in order to preserve accountability and information access. The progression of these changes could vary between countries based on the level of development. Digital Transformation and Its Role in Progressing the Relationship Between States and Their Citizens is a cutting-edge research publication that examines the relationship between government and citizens especially regarding accountability, communication, and access to information. Featuring a wide range of topics such as electoral reform, free speech, and citizen empowerment, this book is ideal for policymakers, researchers, legal professionals, activists, government employees, and academicians.

Polymer electrolytes are electrolytic materials that are widely used in batteries, fuel cells and other applications such as supercapacitors, photoelectrochemical and electrochromic devices. Polymer electrolytes: Fundamentals and applications provides an important review of this class of ionic conductors, their properties and applications. Part one reviews the various types of polymer electrolyte compounds, with chapters on ceramic polymer electrolytes, natural polymer-based polymer electrolytes, composite polymer electrolytes, lithium-doped hybrid polymer electrolytes, hybrid inorganic-organic polymer electrolytes. There are also chapters on ways of characterising and modelling polymer electrolytes. Part two discusses applications such as solar cells, supercapacitors, electrochromic and electrochemical devices, fuel cells and batteries. With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, Polymer electrolytes: Fundamentals and applications is a standard reference for all those researching and using polymer electrolytes in such areas as battery and fuel cell technology for automotive and other applications.
