Digital Government since 1950
Digitale Staatlichkeit seit 1950
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 16:21:54
Abstract
The seminar discusses the changes that have resulted from the relocation of government into the digital space since the middle of the 20th century. We assume that in the course of this move, both governmental and digital reality have changed (e-government, health policy, public sphere, information systems).
Objective
Students learn to read very different types of text against the grain and understand technical change.
Resources
Lecture Notes
The reading program is available on Moodle at the beginning of the semester. Participation in the sessions is required. A graded semester performance will take place. Students should complete research tasks resulting from the individual sessions.
