Reviews

Considerable hype surrounds e-government and e-government research. Much of the hype is promulgated by e-government advocates and by scholars and researchers, who should have known better, but who appear to have gotten caught up in the advocacy around e-government.

– Donald Norris, University of Maryland, Baltimore County, USA

In these 15 articles by leading theorists and practitioners, readers learn about the concerns of both sides, primarily from an academic point of view but also through plenty of references to current projects in the field.
