Computing and the Political World

After a framework for conceptualizing the impacts of computing on the political world is briefly described, four broad types of impacts are analyzed: capabilities, interactions, orientations, and value distributions. Generalizations, based on a synthesis of empirical research, summarize our current understandings about the impacts of computing on politics and public sector organizations. Overall, computing has increased the information power, efficiency and centralization of control within the political world. Political interactions have become more transparent and complex, hence more difficult. While political orientations seem little changed to this point, computing has generally reinforced the existing distribution of power and values.
