This book traces the development of e-government and its
applications across Europe, exploring the effects of information
and communication technology (ICTs) upon political action and
processes.
Explores a range of concepts and topics underpinning
e-government in Europe:
- the degree to which e-government translates into genuine reform
of government and public administration
- the dual role of the EU as both a provider of e-government
through its own internal activities and also as a facilitator or
aggregator in the way it seeks to engender change and promote its
ethos in member states across the EU
- cyberterrorism and its use both by terrorists and governments
to pursue political agendas.
Featuring in-depth case studies on the progress of e-government
in the UK, France, Germany, Denmark, The Netherlands, Portugal,
Greece, Slovenia, Hungary, and Estonia. These case studies address
the above issues, whilst at the same time highlighting commonality
and diversity in practice and the paradox between top-down
strategies and the effort to engage wider civil participation via
e-government.
e-Government in Europe will be of interest to students and
scholars of public policy, politics, media and communication
studies, computing and information and communications technologies
and European studies.
