The author demonstrates\nthat, although the term “open data” seems to be self-explanatory, it involves\nan evolving ecosystem of complex domains. Through empirical case studies, this\nbook explains how governments in the ASEAN may harvest the benefits of open\ndata to maximize their productivity, efficiency and innovation. The book also\ninvestigates how increasing digital divides in the population, boundaries to\ncivil society, and shortfalls in civil and political rights threaten to arrest\nopen data in early development, which may hamper post-2015 development agendas\nin the region. With robust open data policies and clear roadmaps, member states\nof the ASEAN can harvest the promising opportunities of open data in their\nparticular developmental, institutional and legal settings. Governments, policy\nmakers, entrepreneurs and academics will gain a clearer understanding of the factors\nthat enable open data from this timely research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-07-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319321691\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-32170-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 192\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47692879724684,"sku":"9783319321691","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319321691.jpg?v=1776699875","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319321691","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
