ABSTRACT: Many currently claim that social networking and associated technologies and media have the power to transform government and civil society. These claims emphasize the wisdom of crowds, the power of citizens to solve policy problems and the extraordinary ability to coordinate and communicate using digital media. Yet these claims may ignore or discount the role of power politics, institutions and other core elements of governance. Thus, we will explore selected opportunities and challenges from the Obama campaign and administration as well as from other countries experimenting with Government 2.0.
