This book explores the main elements of e-Democracy, the term normally
used to describe the implementation of democratic government processes
by electronic means. It provides insights into the main technological
and human issues regarding governance, government, participation,
inclusion, empowerment, procurement and, last but not least, ethical
and privacy issues. Its main aim is to bridge the gap between
technological solutions, their successful implementation, and the
fruitful utilization of the main set of e-Services totally or
partially delivered by governments or non-government organizations.
Today, various parameters actively influence e-Services’ success or
failure: cultural aspects, organisational issues, bureaucracy and
workflows, infrastructure and technology in general, user habits,
literacy, capacity or merely interaction design. This includes having
a significant population of citizens who are willing and able to adopt
and use online services;as well as developing the managerial and
technical capability to implement applications that meet citizens’
needs. This book helps readers understand the mutual dependencies
involved; further, a selection of success stories and failures, duly
commented on, enables readers to identify the right approach to
innovation in governmental e-Services. With its balanced humanistic
and technological approach, the book mainly targets public
authorities, decision-makers, stakeholders, solution developers, and
graduate students.
