About this book

Comparative E-Government examines the impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on governments throughout the world. It focuses on the adoption of e-government both by comparing different countries, and by focusing on individual countries and the success and challenges that they have faced. With 32 chapters from leading e-government scholars and practitioners from around the world, there is representation of developing and developed countries and their different stages of e-government adoption. Part I compares the adoption of e-government in two or more countries. The purpose of these chapters is to discern the development of e-government by comparing different counties and their individual experiences. Part II provides a more in-depth focus on case studies of e-government adoption in select countries. Part III, the last part of the book, examines emerging innovations and technologies in the adoption of e-government in different countries. Some of the emerging technologies are the new social media movement, the development of e-participation, interoperability, and geographic information systems (GIS).

Reviews

From the reviews:

“Electronic government (e-government) is global. This book’s 32 chapters are written by a variety of international scholars and divided into three parts: ‘Comparing Countries and Regions,’ ‘Country Case Studies,’ and ‘Innovations and Emerging Technologies.’ Both government and new social media students will find this unique collection useful. … this collection provides a truly global perspective of a significant topic.” (Brad Reid, ACM Computing Reviews, March, 2011)
