Description
When the tools of governing change, governance changes too. This course examines how local and national governments around the world are using digital resources to better serve their citizens and identifies techniques drawn from these pioneering practices. The course relies on case discussions, interactive lectures, student presentations, and independent reading. Visitors from governments around the world will also be coming to HKS during the spring term for a public lecture series (not as part of the formal class), and the presence of these visitors will provide unique opportunities to engage with leading practitioners from the sectors we will discuss. This course will provide a thorough grounding in best practices currently in use as well as a series of useful concepts and frameworks that students can directly apply to strategic governance problems they encounter post-graduation.
