Policy Implications of Top-down and Bottom-up Patterns in E-Government Infrastructure Development
Anne Fleur van Veenstra and
Marijn Janssen
Chapter 12 in Inverse Infrastructures, 2012 from Edward Elgar Publishing
Abstract:
The notion of inverse infrastructures – that is, bottom-up, user-driven, self-organizing networks – gives us a fresh perspective on the omnipresent infrastructure systems that support our economy and structure our way of living. This fascinating book considers the emergence of inverse infrastructures as a new phenomenon that will have a vast impact on consumers, industry and policy. Using a wide range of theories, from institutional economics to complex adaptive systems, it explores the mechanisms and incentives for the rise of these alternatives to large-scale infrastructures and points to their potential disruptive effect on conventional markets and governance models.
