E-government is expected to improve the function of public administration and its relationship to the public. The good news is that information and communication technology (ICT) offers an array of tools to meet the promise of e-government. The bad news is that the reality has not yet caught up with the promise. To date, the approach to e-government has too often been driven by ICT solutions instead of user demand. While this has been effective for putting services online, it has led to a proliferation of websites, portals and electronic services that are incompatible, confusing and overlapping... not to mention expensive.

This article advances a political theory of regulation that accounts for the choices of regulators and regulated entities when both are governments. Leading theories of regulation assume that governments regulate profit‐maximizing firms: Governments set rules, to which firms respond rationally in ways that constrain their behavior. But often the entities that governments regulate are other governments. We argue that government agencies and private firms often face different compliance costs, and that agencies have greater incentives than firms to appeal regulations through political channels. Simultaneously, the typical enforcement instruments that regulators use to influence firm behavior may be less effective against governments. Our empirical subjects are public and private entities' compliance with the U.S. Clean Air Act and Safe Drinking Water Act. We find that, compared with private firms, governments violate these laws significantly more frequently and are less likely to be penalized for violations.

Good governance is increasingly popular when bad governance deals with KKN (corruption, collusion, and nepotism) actions. Good governance practices also require transparency in the overall governance process, while the formulation of the problem is how good governance is government and governance, Furthermore, the research method here is descriptive qualitative.

Argues that the US model of corporate governance may not be the best choice for developing countries. Discussion begins with a look at the common law of fiduciary duties and market forces characteristic of the US model. Several reasons are then advanced as to why such a market-based model of corporate governance is not feasible for developing countries. In this light, it is suggested that a mandatory model of corporate law utilizing bright-line rules might result in better economic growth for developing countries. Concrete provisions for such a code are then considered, along with factors driving a thriving venture capital market.

Central Government refuses to accept the need for freedom of information or open government laws affecting its administration. In 1985, however, the Local Government (Access to Information) Act was passed which constitutes a freedom Of information law for local government. What has been the impact of this statute on local government administration? What problems or difficulties has the legis lation caused and what lessons for good government might the law and its operation hold?
