8:30 – 11:45 Roundtable on Understanding Governance in the Digital Era:

An Agenda for Public Administration

(Centre of Excellence A301)

This roundtable will explore the opportunities and challenges that new digital technologies are

presenting in some of the key domains of public administration practice: policy analysis, advising elected leaders, engaging citizens and stakeholders, evolving models of service delivery, regulation and

surveillance, transforming the back office, and new approaches to accountability The following

questions for each domain will animate the roundtable: (1) What potential improvements could digital technologies bring to this domain of public administration? (2) Which enduring issues of public

administration will remain in this domain, despite or perhaps even because of the digital age? (3) What

is needed to advance practice and research in this domain for the digital era and to function in the emerging governance environment? The roundtable will proceed with short presentations designed to encourage a wide-ranging discussion with the audience
