His novel approach applies the principles of systems engineering to the architecture of democratic institutions. In so doing he challenges us to rethink what might be possible with respect to re-forming democratic institutions and practices in the digital age." - Jim Jose, Professor of Politics, Acting Assistant Dean Research, Faculty of Business & Law, The University of Newcastle, Australia This book describes how the Systems Engineering (SE) methodology can be used to harness technology and enhance democracy within any political system. Moreover, it provides a practical roadmap for countries and politicians who are willing to change their existing system of governance to one that allows the people to have a meaningful say. In this regard, the book compares and contrasts two countries, Mauritius and Australia, highlighting how SE and e-democracy can be implemented in different contexts. Soobhiraj Bungsraz's aviation career spans more than a quarter of a century. He has served as the CEO of a national airline and as a Project Engineering Manager at Defence Australia, Royal Australian Air Force, for its F-35 project. 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aIndustrial management 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects 606 $aPolitical Science 606 $aIndustrial Management 606 $aScience and Technology Studies 606 $aGovernance and Government 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aIndustrial management. 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects. 615 14$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aIndustrial Management. 615 24$aScience and Technology Studies. 615 24$aGovernance and Government. 676 $a352.3802854678 700 $aBungsraz$b Soobhiraj$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01062164 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910370248103321 996 $aOperationalising e-Democracy through a System Engineering Approach in Mauritius and Australia$92523189 997 $aUNINA
