Like it or not -- it is here to stay. Some observers have noted that whatever it turns out to be, e-government can't possibly be worse than government is already. State governments and the Federal Government are already using the internet in unexpected ways to provide information and services to the citizens. Call centres for some state government services in New York have even relocated to India where replies come back via email -- sometimes even related to the question. Many government documents are now available on the internet but not in paper. Whether this new development will turn out to be better or worse for most of the citizens is unknown, especially those who are not masters at internet searching or are not especially knowledgeable about computers. This book gathers important reports on the subject.

Few developments have had broader consequences for the public sector than the introduction of the Internet and digital technology. In this book, Darrell West discusses how new technology is altering governmental performance, the political process, and democracy itself by improving government responsiveness and increasing information available to citizens. Using multiple methods--case studies, content analysis of over 17,000 government Web sites, public and bureaucrat opinion survey data, an e-mail responsiveness test, budget data, and aggregate analysis--the author presents the most comprehensive study of electronic government ever undertaken. Among other topics, he looks at how much change has taken place in the public sector, what determines the speed and breadth of e-government adoption, and what the consequences of digital technology are for the public sector. Written in a clear and analytical manner, this book outlines the variety of factors that have restricted the ability of policy makers to make effective use of new technology. Although digital government offers the potential for revolutionary change, social, political, and economic forces constrain the scope of transformation and prevent government officials from realizing the full benefits of interactive technology.
"This book examines the role that citizens play in the development of electronic government or e-government,specifically focusing on the impact of e-government and citizens, exploring issues of policy and management in government"--Provided by publisher.
The persistent challenge of inequitable access to quality services plagues diverse age groups, creating a glaring gap in our pursuit of inclusive well-being. Despite the revolutionary strides in digital health and artificial intelligence (AI), the promise of universal accessibility remains unfulfilled. The disparities demand a comprehensive understanding of obstacles hindering inclusivity, setting the stage for a transformative solution. Inclusivity and Accessibility in Digital Health is a groundbreaking exploration that is a beacon of change in the healthcare narrative. This book transcends conventional boundaries, offering innovative frameworks, case studies, and empirical research. It delves into the transformative potential of AI and digital health, presenting actionable insights to tailor healthcare services, manage diseases, and elevate overall well-being. Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, this book inspires researchers, healthcare professionals, policymakers, and tech enthusiasts to harness the power of technology for an inclusive healthcare revolution.
Governments these days often boast about the efficiency of their electronic systems. Information communication technologies (ICTs) apparently allow public service to become cheaper, faster and more democratic. E-government has become another buzzword, the shining future of the public realm. Critics claim, however, that ICTs’ potential for democratic renewal is hampered by ancient assumptions of how governments should function. But which viewpoint is nearer the truth? In this original and insightful volume, Vincent Homburg demonstrates how the use, form and impact of ICTs are, in fact, entwined within the socio-political, economic and institutional aspects already established by government and public administration. Evangelical or fatalistic perspectives are discredited to show the different realities in which ICTs play a role in our daily lives. Using case studies and vignettes from throughout Europe and the US, the book analyzes what these new technologies actually do, and how they are screened through varying layers of bureaucracy and convention. This is a timely addition to our understanding of what is meant by e-government. It gets behind the political rhetoric. Understanding E-Government: Information Systems in Public Administration will be key reading for all students of public administration, political science, organization theory and information systems.
