This handbook aims to be a comprehensive reference publication for academicians, researchers, practitioners, students, and managers with an interest in e-government content and the ability for the public to access and utilize this technology.

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • E-Democracy
  • E-Government

  • Government Transparency
  • ICT Implementation
  • Public Participation
  • Social Inclusion
Reviews & Statements

Scholars of information, communication, public administration, and other social sciences examine the theoretical underpinnings of electronic government and analyze the actual practice through specific case studies in different political, social, and economic environments. In particular, they provide empirical evidence on certain aspects of social inclusion and exclusion in the implementation of electronic government. Among the topics are a taxonomy and examination of the role of electronic government in the digital divide, local government as a democracy actor or a service delivery actor, social inclusion of Australian children in the digital age, developing electronic democracy in Bristol, and community electronic centers in the Philippines.
