Contrasting Approaches to the Adoption of e-Government: The UK and the Netherlands

In: Journal of e-government, Band 2, Heft 3, S. 51-83

Abstract

This paper examines how e-Government was developed and implemented in two countries: the UK and the Netherlands. Drawing on a variety of documentary sources and extensive interview data the paper contrasts the differences in realizing the vision of e-government between the two countries. The approaches to the realization of e-government within each country are examined in detail, with the strengths and weaknesses of each approach identified. Based on this a mixed model for the implementation of e-Government is proposed and implications for e-Government policy are outlined. Adapted from the source document.
