This book demonstrates the state of the art of digital government. It can easily become a standard reference for those studying e-government!
– Carmine Scavo, East Carolina University, USA
This is an excellent addition to the literature on e-government. Much of the work on e-government has tended to be "fluffy" but each chapter in this book has excellent and thorough coverage by experts who have deep knowledge of the areas they discuss. It covers a wide range of topics and would be an excellent book to use for a course on e-government.
