Description
E-government is a product of the Internet age, and Comparative Perspectives on E-Government identifies the various facets of e-government, comparing developments among five countries (Australia, UK, Canada, New Zealand, and the US). E-government is a more complex, rich phenomena than previously recognized.
The concern here is not whether citizens, businesses, and government officials should become reliant on Internet access to government, but the obstacles to that goal and how they may be most effectively overcome. Researchers in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Britain, and the US discuss such aspects as the digital divide, the balance between access and security after 9/11, trust in government, citizens' perspectives, and the evaluation of government Web sites.
...this is an outstanding contribution to a rapidly developing area of research.
...an interesting study...
Comparative Perspectives on E-government collects for its readers, in one volume, the thoughtful analysis of the discourse of information policy most important to researchers. It is a wonderful entrance into a developing political institution.
This edited volume brings fresh research perspectives on comparative e-government. The authors provide in-depth anaylses of the evolution, nature, and emerging impact of e-government on public service....The authors do a superb job of describing how public institutions provide and regulate e-governments.
