| description | The coupling of the disruptive processes of digitalization and the green transformation in a so-called “Twin Transformation” is already being considered a strategic step within the European Union and is discussed in the academic sphere. Strategically, this coupling is necessary and meaningful to realize synergies and to avoid counterproductive effects, such as rebound effects or lock-in effects, particularly given the time constraints imposed by climate change. The European data strategy not only calls for the establishment of various data spaces, such as the data space for the European Green New Deal, but also calls for the opening, integration, and utilization of European data for stakeholders from administration, business, and civil society. Considering this, it is argued that administrative informatics as a discipline could be integrated as an additional analytical perspective into the political science heuristic of the policy cycle. This integration offers substantial added value for analyzing and shaping the policy processes of the European Green transformation. Moreover, this heuristic approach enables the ex-ante prediction of changes in policymaking based on the theories, models, methods, and application areas of administrative informatics. Building on this premise, this article provides insights into the application of the proposed heuristic using the example of the European Green transformation. It analyzes the resulting implications for the analysis of policymaking considering an increasingly digitalized public administration. |
