Digital Technology and Democratic Theory
by Hélène Landemore Rob Reich Lucy BernholzOne of the most far-reaching transformations in our era is the wave of digital technologies rolling over—and upending—nearly every aspect of life. Work and leisure, family and friendship, community and citizenship have all been modified by now-ubiquitous digital tools and platforms. Digital Technology and Democratic Theory looks closely at one significant facet of our rapidly evolving digital lives: how technology is radically changing our lives as citizens and participants in democratic governments. To understand these transformations, this book brings together contributions by scholars from multiple disciplines to wrestle with the question of how digital technologies shape, reshape, and affect fundamental questions about democracy and democratic theory. As expectations have whiplashed—from Twitter optimism in the wake of the Arab Spring to Facebook pessimism in the wake of the 2016 US election—the time is ripe for a more sober and long-term assessment. How should we take stock of digital technologies and their promise and peril for reshaping democratic societies and institutions? To answer, this volume broaches the most pressing technological changes and issues facing democracy as a philosophy and an institution.
Digital Technology and Justice: Justice Apps
by Bin Li Tania Sourdin Jacqueline MeredithJustice apps – mobile and web-based programmes that can assist individuals with legal tasks – are being produced, improved, and accessed at an unprecedented rate. These technologies have the potential to reshape the justice system, improve access to justice, and demystify legal institutions. Using artificial intelligence techniques, apps can even facilitate the resolution of common legal disputes. However, these opportunities must be assessed in light of the many challenges associated with app use in the justice sector. These include the digital divide and other accessibility issues; the ethical challenges raised by the dehumanisation of legal processes; and various privacy, security, and confidentiality risks. Surveying the landscape of this emergent industry, this book explores the objectives, opportunities, and challenges presented by apps across all areas of the justice sector. Detailed consideration is also given to the use of justice apps in specific legal contexts, including the family law and criminal law sectors. The first book to engage with justice apps, this book will appeal to a wide range of legal scholars, students, practitioners, and policy-makers.
Digital Technology and the Contemporary University: Degrees of digitization (Research into Higher Education)
by Neil SelwynDigital Technology and the Contemporary University examines the often messy realities of higher education in the ‘digital age’. Drawing on a variety of theoretical and empirical perspectives, the book explores the intimate links between digital technology and wider shifts within contemporary higher education – not least the continued rise of the managerialist ‘bureaucratic’ university. It highlights the ways that these new trends can be challenged, and possibly changed altogether. Addressing a persistent gap in higher education and educational technology research, where digital technology is rarely subject to an appropriately critical approach, Degrees of Digitization offers an alternative reading of the social, political, economic and cultural issues surrounding universities and technology. The book highlights emerging themes that are beginning to be recognised and discussed in academia, but as yet have not been explored thoroughly. Over the course of eight wide-ranging chapters the book addresses issues such as: The role of digital technology in university reform; Digital technologies and the organisation of universities; Digital technology and the working lives of university staff; Digital technology and the ‘student experience’; Reimagining the place of digital technology within the contemporary university. This book will be of great interest to all students, academic researchers and writers working in the areas of education studies and/or educational technology, as well as being essential reading for anyone working in the areas of higher education research and digital media research.
Digital Technology for an Innovative Energy Transition: Perspectives and Opportunities (Green Energy and Technology)
by Firyal Latrache Fatima Zahra Ouariach Soufiane Ouariach Najwa JbiraThis book gives an insight into the laws, regulations and ethics involved in adopting digital technologies to promote the energy transition. The current global development requires a deep understanding and a well-adopted strategy. The energy transition is an essential lever for global development, whether in terms of energy consumption or the protection of biodiversity in order to combat climate change, which is threatening living beings. Climate change is not only threatening living beings, it is also threatening natural resources and, in particular, causing water stress, which is currently a major issue. The energy transition is therefore the key to solving these challenges by adopting purely renewable consumption to reduce the impact of fossil fuels. But how is energy transition contributing to development? Clearly, digitalisation is the current trend. So the idea is to use digital tools to achieve what we call an innovative energy transition. This edited book aims to present how digital technologies contribute to the energy transition. It discusses the approaches, challenges and opportunities of applying digitalisation in the energy sector to ensure an innovative energy transition. This digitisation can then be used to optimise energy efficiency using intelligent energy technologies. To ensure an innovative energy transition, the book encourages readers to discover artificial intelligence and energy simulation programmes. Finally, the book presents the concept of the digital enterprise in the energy sector and the emerging trends in smart energy professions up to 2050.

Digital Transformation Handbook
by Krunoslav Ris Milan PuvačaDigital transformation has become more than a buzzword from the media since companies figured out the importance of rethinking business processes during global challenges. On its own, the term assumes integration of digital technology into all areas of a business, resulting in fundamental changes to how the company operates and delivers value to customers. Taking care of and choosing the optimal ICT tools is a constant struggle; the final decision may depend on the consultant’s experience. Including all business stakeholders in this process is a must. Creating innovative company culture, continuous learning, and developing new skills with flexible and open communication and willingness to experiment are a challenge. This complex, comprehensive approach can include implementing new systems, integrating existing systems, and using data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning to drive better outcomes. By adapting and exploiting digital technology in new ways, businesses can gain better and more detailed customer experiences and build stronger relationships with their clients. In addition, digital transformation can help organizations to be more agile and responsive, which can lead to less time needed for different processes or the ability to adapt quickly to changing conditions. In a time when change is the only constant – and it is hitting us every day not to forget about that – it is essential to think about digital transformation constantly. Technology improvement, availability, and scalability give us no room for excuses for not using them. Who can say that we are not living in dynamic and exciting times? The Authors have taken their 20 years of practical experience and put it into this handbook, in which many cases can be found where not every time is a success story. This book is prepared to provide some insights, give you a fresh overview of what such change can enable, and set up an environment for new technology that will arrive shortly.
