national and international attention to electronic government
systems. Therefore, it is inevitable that the theoretical

comprehensive dialogue on issues that occur between the public
management and information technology domains. With its focus on
political issues and their effects on the larger public sector,

and educators who wish to gain foundational and theoretical
knowledge on e-government policies.
