Government 2.0
Research project promoted by Don Tapscott.
Description
From http://www.eu.socialtext.net/wiki-government-and-democracy/index.cgi?:
"For both emerging and established democratic societies, the Wikinomics era holds the promise and the inevitability of new models for delivering the functions of government. Government 2.0: Wikinomics, Government & Democracy is a global research project that will identify and analyze emerging opportunities to harness new models of collaboration to transform the public sector. It builds on a wealth of continuing research by New Paradigm – a renowned think tank led by author and strategist Don Tapscott – and a global faculty of experts.
The investigation will equip subscriber organizations with the insights required to harness new models of Web-based collaboration to reinvent the way they develop policy, partner across institutional boundaries, and engage and serve their constituents. The program will be conducted in partnership with the world’s leading thinkers and practitioners, funded by both governments around the world and private companies seeking to participate in this transformation."
