Digital Government : E - Government Research , Case Studies

Electronic Government (e-government) is a rapidly growing field that gets increasing attention from practitioners and researchers around the world. This attention comes from various disciplines, including public administration, information systems, computer science, political science and organisation research. Over the last decade the field has been maturing, with its own research programs, dedicated conferences and journals, and – consequently – a growing body of literature. The book “Digital Government” aims to present a comprehensive review of recent IT research that is of importance to the field of e-government, while at the same time acknowledging the broader picture of the application of Information Technology (IT) to all levels of government. This book consists of a variety of chapters written by authors coming from different disciplines and backgrounds, bringing in various views on e-government.
