The following resources are available for teaching and research
on e-government:
1. CASE BOOK ON TECHNOLOGY-ENABLED REFORM
'Reinventing Government in the Information Age' - recently
published in paperback by Routledge - presents more than a
dozen international case studies of e-government applications
and strategies.
Each case has an educators' guide, enabling it to be easily used
in teaching.
The book analyses successful and unsuccessful approaches to
IT use in the public sector, building a new model for practical
improvement of IT-enabled reform projects.
