Albeit a late developer in high technology terms, a pattern arguably commensurate with Modern Greece's politico-economic position in the world today, the idea of grasping the nettle of technological advancements and applying it towards the recreation of a government-citizen relationship through an electronic forum reminiscent of the ancient Greek Pnyx or the Agora, has captured the imagination of the Greeks in the 21st century. This case study paper follows chronologically and examines critically the build-up of ventures towards establishing e-government and initiatives for e-democracy in Greece, their aims and scope, limitations and context, attempting a projection of future directions based on these early experiences and the lessons learnt.

This book traces the development of e-government and its applications across Europe, exploring the effects of information and communication technology (ICTs) upon political action and processes. Explores a range of concepts and topics underpinning e-government in Europe: the degree to which e-government translates into genuine reform of government and public administration the dual role of the EU as both a provider of e-government through its own internal activities and also as a facilitator or aggregator in the way it seeks to engender change and promote its ethos in member states across the EU cyberterrorism and its use both by terrorists and governments to pursue political agendas. Featuring in-depth case studies on the progress of e-government in the UK, France, Germany, Denmark, The Netherlands, Portugal, Greece, Slovenia, Hungary, and Estonia. These case studies address the above issues, whilst at the same time highlighting commonality and diversity in practice and the paradox between top-down strategies and the effort to engage wider civil participation via e-government. e-Government in Europe will be of interest to students and scholars of public policy, politics, media and communication studies, computing and information and communications technologies and European studies.

Explains the challenges that governments face and how various factors play a role before we can even begin to speak of successful transferral to e-government. Presenting a multi-disciplinary approach, this book analyses a range of challenges spanning from those of a technological and managerial nature to those of political and legal nature.
