Rezensionen

"Da das Buch in den USA publiziert wurde, beziehen sich die Essays und die Praxisbeispiele hauptsächlich auf die Open-Government-Strategie und entsprechende Online-Services der Regierung Obama. Jedoch lassen sich daraus durchaus Ideen für Politik und Verwaltung in Deuthschland ableiten, wo die Prinzipien von Open Government bislang noch keine Rolle spielen." -- Kommune21, 8/2010

"'Open Government' ist als Lektüre unbedingt zu empfehlen, sowohl für politisch als auch technisch interessierte Leser. Zielgruppe ist einerseits die Verwaltung, für die Anreize und Denkanstöße gegeben werden, andererseits die Politik, für die strategische Fragestellungen für den Einsatz von Technoligie behandelt werden. Wer sich für die moderne Gestaltung der Schnittstelle zwischen Bürger und Verwaltung interessiert, kommt an diesem Buch nicht vorbei." -- Scheinwerfer, November 2010
