Developers and managers of websites are key players in conveying the transparency of governments. Although previous research has highlighted the need for further progress in transparency on sustainability, very few studies have considered how websites can better contribute to providing sustainability information. This paper identifies determinant factors that can help website developers and managers enhance the online transparency on sustainability provided by regional governments. In an empirical study of 17 Spanish regional governments, we identified technological factors (such as broadband availability and the online compilation of information) and transparency-stimulating factors (such as convergence with the information society, accessibility and usability) that can be useful to increase the volume of social, economic and environmental information published on their websites.
}The destruction of the Czars which brought about the reign of revolutions from 19051917 in Russia looms as the crucial political event of the twentieth century. In little more than a decade the Romanov dynasty was toppled, and its time-honored institutions repudiated. How did it happen? How could Nicholas and Alexandra, the nobility, middle class anarchistseven Lenin himselfnot foresee the catastrophic changes that were shaking the empire? Why could nothing be done? And why were the efforts so ineffectual? Black Night, White Snow captures the rich drama of this whole period. With the artistry of a Balzac, Harrison Salisbury exposes the strata of Russian society, with its decedents, prophetic poets, religious fanatics, and newly liberated serfs. From archival sources within the Soviet Union, interviews, and his personal photography collection, he recreates the story as it happened. Hard data on Russia's economy, a first-hand knowledge of the county, and a historian's gift of compression are combined in a fast-paced narrative that reads with the ease of a good novel and the urgency of a newspaper headline. }
