E-Government for All?: The role of technology relating to the processes and mediation of diverse citizen-state interaction

该项目正在研究20世纪90年代以来英国政府内部数字化转型的历史。该项目侧重于技术和基础设施的变化如何影响治理方式以及公民如何体验这些变化。在第一阶段，该项目使用新工党政府新发布的档案文件（国家档案馆）。该项目的背景是20世纪90年代对开放政府和电子政府的日益关注，包括电子记录管理倡议（在布莱尔政府时期创建了电子特使办公室，并出版了现代化政府议程），所有这些都是为了将公民与政府联系起来，重新平衡权力。该项目采用跨学科的方法来研究基础设施的变化以及公民与政府的互动和看法。

The project is researching the history of digital transformation within the UK government from the 1990s onwards. The project focuses on how changes in technologies and infrastructures may have affected ways of governing and how these were experienced by citizens. In its first phase the project uses newly released archival documents (The National Archives) from the New Labour administration. The project context is the growing focus in the 1990s on Open Government and e-Government, including electronic records management initiatives (with the creation under the Blair administration of the Office of the e-Envoy and the publication of the Modernising Government Agenda), all with a view towards connecting citizens to Government and rebalancing power. The project takes an interdisciplinary approach to study infrastructural changes as well as citizen interaction with and perception of Government.
