Synopsis<br />

The progression of information <strong>and</strong> communication technology (ICT)<br />

eGovernment systems has substantial implications for the future of<br />

government as we know it. eGov presents major challenges <strong>and</strong><br />

advantages for policy makers, as fundamentally different nations are<br />

adopting ICT in public administration reforms in order to capitalize on<br />

the benefits of transformational government or electronic government<br />

technology. This book investigates the modern political, technological,<br />

economic, social, <strong>and</strong> cultural issues of transformational government.<br />

It discusses in detail how interaction through advancing technology<br />

such as e-participation, mobile government, social media, web 2.0,<br />

<strong>and</strong> cloud computing has been successfully incorporated into eGov<br />

practice. International in scope, this book gives practical examples<br />

<strong>and</strong> case studies of eGov implementation in countries across the<br />

globe <strong>and</strong> is the essential reference text for this important topic.<br />
