This volume focuses on economic and political challenges posed by concurrent processes of globalisation and rapid technological change for public management and policy-making in the Visegrad countries. Extensive empirical work reveals a complex picture of semi-peripheral struggle with global megatrends.

This book focuses on the economic and political challenges posed by the simultaneous processes of globalisation and rapid technological change for public management and policy making in the Visegrád countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia). The empirical work, based on 90 interviews and close cooperation with experts in the field, has provided valuable insights into the social consequences of the technological revolution, technical revolution, technical upgrading and economic development, public services, data management, communication and disinformation, coordination within the public sector and with private entities in the management of data and intellectual property. The research reveals a set of complex political economies with a high degree of political inertia characteristic of semi-peripheral countries, combined with various attempts to actively shape the technological flow.
