Description
This panel will critically examine some major e-Government initiatives in Europe from both a Eurocentric perspective and a more general (non-European) dimension. From the European perspective panelists will deliberate on impact and effectiveness of these programs in terms of EU goals, such as improved competitiveness of member states, creation of jobs for EU citizens and innovation in governance through Web 2.0 technologies. For better insights into outcomes and observations, the panel will debate on reasons for poor uptake of e-services and how the utilization of these services can be improved through greater cross-border cooperation and focused research. From a more general perspective, the possibility of transferring innovations and experiences from these projects outside Europe will be discussed. Panelists include practitioners and researchers from Europe.
