Civic Innovation: Technology, Policies, and Politics

Digital technology is becoming increasingly intertwined with everyday life: from schooling and education, to policing and political engagement, to financial and health management. The rate of innovation in the areas of civic life have accelerated rapidly over the past twenty year, driven by entrepreneurs within and outside government institutions. Civic Innovation: Technology, Policies, and Politics, the third volume of the Lab for Entrepreneurship and Development book series, will be co-edited by Cole C. Scanlon and Bruno S. Sergi and will have a particular focus on topics related - directly and indirectly - to civic innovation from a range of perspectives including economic, political, sociological, and anthropological. Topics of interest for submission include, but are not limited to, civic innovation, civic engagement, 'govtech', open government, and digital democracy.

Please submit complete paper drafts - of between 5,000 and 10,000 words - for consideration by April 1st, 2024
