Technology, Policy, and Inclusion looks at the intersections between public policy and technology in India. It explores the barriers in instituting effective governance and development and examines how these can be mitigated through technological interventions in developing countries. Increased digitisation of the economy has added to the development challenges in India and issues such as exclusion and social inequality. This volume stresses the need for governments to leverage technology to bring more vulnerable and marginalised groups into the fold of financial and social inclusion. It also focuses on the importance of regulation for a responsible integration of technologies and minimising risks. The book includes examples and case studies from different areas including management of the COVID-19 pandemic through digital means, real estate digital infrastructure, digital census, e-markets for farmers, and government interventions that use technology to deliver financial services in remote areas of the country. It also outlines various solutions for fostering equity and socio-economic development. Part of the Innovations, Practice and the Future of Public Policy in India series, this volume will be of interest to students and researchers of public policy, political science, development studies, and sociology as well as policy professionals and technocrats.

Le politiche pubbliche in Italia hanno una gestazione difficile ma una messa in opera difficilissima. È normale che a seguito di una politica pubblica si produca una quantità di effetti collaterali non previsti. Così come è altrettanto normale che una politica pubblica determini un impatto che risulta gradito ex post ma che non è identificabile con quello programmato. Tanto che molte politiche fanno pensare più a una scommessa che a un progetto. Ossia sono sempre esposte a un universo di fattori e circostanze che ne può distruggere o cambiare i presupposti teorici al di fuori di qualunque effettiva e misurabile capacità di governo. Ciò è la spia di una fragilità strutturale di un regime democratico e delle capacità di governo che sa esprimere: la sua difficoltà nell'alimentare le proprie politiche con dosi e strumenti di legittimazione sufficienti a conseguire l'efficacia auspicata. È un tema classico della scienza politica che viene rivisitato alla luce delle diverse tipologie di legittimazione empiricamente ipotizzabili e della capacità dello Stato contemporaneo di produrre regolazione sociale.

"Did evaluation meet the challenges of the COVID-19 crisis? How were evaluation practices, architectures and values affected? Policy Evaluation in the Era of COVID-19 is the first to offer a broad canvas that explores government responses and ideas to tackle the challenges that evaluation practice faces in preparing for the next global crisis. Practitioners and established academic experts in the field of policy evaluation present a sophisticated synthesis of institutional, national, and disciplinary perspectives, with insights drawn from developments in Australia, Canada and the U.K., as well as the UN. Contributors examine the impacts of evaluation on socioeconomic recovery planning, government innovations in pivoting internal operations to address the crisis, and the role of parliamentary and audit institutions during the pandemic. Chapters also example the Sustainable Development Goals, and the inadequacy of human rights-based approaches in evaluation, while examining the imperative proposed by some authors that it is time that we take seriously the call for substantial transformation. Written in a clear and accessible style, Policy Evaluation in the Era of COVID-19 offers a much-needed insight on the role evaluation played during this unique and critical juncture in history"--
