- Spreading the Word Further: Guidelines for Disseminating Development Research (pdf)
-
By Julie Fisher, Frank Odhiambo and Andrew Cotton. Water, Engineering and Development Centre Loughborough University, 2003. Getting research findings out to those who stand to benefit from them is now widely recognised as a crucial aspect of any research project. This book is a product of the second phase of a DFID-funded KaR project that is aimed at increasing the impact of research through improved dissemination of the research process and findings. It develops the ideas from phase one of the project 'Spreading the Word: Practical guidelines for research dissemination strategies' (Saywell and Cotton, 1999). Based on in-depth consultation with Southern agencies about appropriate methods and formats by which to share information and knowledge relating to development research projects, this book provides dissemination checklists and guidelines. It also provides a useful overview of the issues and more specific advise for anyone engaged in development-related research, whether as contractors, practitioners or donors, at all stages of the project cycle.

- The Web Rewires the Movement
-
The Nation, posted July 17, 2003. By Andrew Boyd. A look at the growth of online activism. "The Battle in Seattle brought to the world's attention a new global resistance movement that was not only made possible by the Internet but, as Naomi Klein has deftly pointed out, was shaped in its image. Sharing the Internet's architecture of interconnected hubs and spokes, the new movement was a coalition of coalitions, a decentralized network of campaigns "intricately and tightly linked to one another."

- Benchmarking E-government: a global perspective. Assessing the progress of the UN member states
-
Author(s): Ronaghan, S. Produced by: United Nations Online Network in Public Administration and Finance (UNPAN) (2002) Since the mid -1990s governments around the world have been executing major initiatives in order to tap the vast potential of the internet for the distinct purpose of improving and perfecting the governing process. Like the personal computer, the Internet has become an indispensable tool in the day-to-day administration of government. In an effort to gain an appreciation of the global e-government landscape in 2001, the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA) and the United Nations Division for Public Economics and Public Administration (UNDPEPA) undertook a research study analyzing the approach, progress and commitment on the part of the 190 UN Member States. The study's primary goal was to objectively present facts and conclusions that define a country's e-government environment and demonstrate its capacity (or lack of) to sustain online development.
