The digitalisation of Administration
is unstoppable. E-Government must deal with artificial intelligence, blockchain, mobile and open government as well as legal implications of digitalisation for the organisation of administration as well as administrative procedures.
The Handbook on the Law of Electronic Administration
deals with the entire spectrum of digital administration, with analysis of deficits, and practical solutions, taking all legal levels (EU, federal and state law) into account, by a single author. Using demonstrative examples, the work follows administration on its digital transformation process by, for example, presenting the following brand new topics:
Portal interconnection, digital cabinet, digital ministries;
Gov Bots, robotic process automation, process mining, artificial intelligence (AI);
Legal nature, transparency and control of algorithms;
Legal assessment of automated administrative decisions.
Up to date
The new EU regulation on the single digital gateway and other current changes (digital pact for schools, internet-based vehicle registration) have been considered.
Annette Guckelberger is Professor of Public Law at the Saarland University. Digitalisation issues relating to state and administration law have long been among her main areas of research, as her pioneering study on the transition to (exclusively) electronic promulgation of the law in Germany and her presentation on E-Government at the conference of the German Association of Public Law Professors have shown.
