From the Publisher
Every week Minnesotans send 13,000 emails to their governor. And 75% of Australians file their income tax over the Internet. Not the exclusive purview of only the wealthy and developed nations, new technologies also have helped Estonia surpass its larger industrialized European neighbors to become one of the world's most wired countries. eGOV: eBUSINESS FOR STRATEGIES FOR GOVERNMENT brings together these best practice examples of how technology and the 'faster, better, cheaper' values of business are helping the world's public sector address everything from the environment, healthcare and social welfare to employment, education, criminal justice and defense.

Highly Recommended!,
This review is from: eGov: E-Business Strategies for Government (Hardcover)
This informative, well-researched and brightly written overview of government e-business will fill you in on how far governments worldwide have come in offering services via the Internet, and what more they have to do to make the most of what the technology has to offer. It's a fascinating read that highlights the Internet's incredible power in bringing people, causes and issues together in the name of social activism, politics and democracy. We from getAbstract recommend this book to all readers with an interest in better - or at least more efficient -government.
