Information Polity is dedicated to publishing work from two main sources:
academic and practitioner. The journal publishes work from academics that is
both of top quality and, equally, of high strategic relevance to
practitioners. Secondly, the journal is intent on publishing work undertaken
by practitioners ­ professional, administrative and political ­ who are
actively engaged in the broad arenas of government and democracy, whether at
local, regional, national or supra-national levels.

The journal is both international and comparative in its perspectives and
welcomes articles from scholars and practitioners throughout the world. The
journal is a tangible expression of the awareness that ICT, including the
Internet, is of deepening significance for all polities as new forms of
government and democratic practice are sought throughout the world.

This journal will establish a role for itself in these contexts, seeking
both to capture and stimulate debate.  The journal publishes articles on
political, economic, legal, managerial, organizational and wider social
themes and issues as they relate to policy developments surrounding
information & communications technologies (ICT) in government and democracy.

Examples of such themes and issues are: ­ The modernization of government
and ICT ­ Consumer responsive government ­ Joined up government and ICT ­
The globalisation of government and ICT ­ Virtual government ­ Data privacy,
protection and security ­ Democratic innovation and ICT ­ The citizen, the
state and ICT ­ Changing ICT-supported democratic practices in the
contemporary polity ­ Public policies for ICT development and adoption
