Aims and Scope
Information Polity is dedicated to publishing work from two main
sources: academic and practitioner. The journal publishes work from
academics that is both of top quality and, equally, of high strategic
relevance to practitioners. Secondly, the journal is intent on
publishing work undertaken by practitioners - professional,
administrative and political - who are actively engaged in the broad
arenas of government and democracy, whether at local, regional, national
or supra-national levels. The journal is both international and
comparative in its perspectives and welcomes articles from scholars and
practitioners throughout the world. The journal is a tangible expression
of the awareness that ICT, including the Internet, is of deepening
significance for all polities as new forms of government and democratic
practice are sought throughout the world. This journal establishes a
role for itself in these contexts, seeking both to capture and stimulate
debate. The journal publishes articles on political, economic, legal,
managerial, organizational and wider social themes and issues as they
relate to policy developments surrounding information & communications
technologies (ICT) in government and democracy. Examples of such themes
and issues are: - The modernization of government and ICT - Consumer
responsive government - Joined up government and ICT - The globalisation
of government and ICT - Virtual government - Data privacy, protection
and security - Democratic innovation and ICT - The citizen, the state
and ICT - Changing ICT-supported democratic practices in the
contemporary polity -Public policies for ICT development and adoption.
