International E-Government Development

Abstract

This chapter provides a roadmap of the book, and seeks to offer a vision of the problem in implementing e-government initiatives in developing countries. To achieve this aim, this chapter makes brief overview of the conclusions obtained in the analysis of the policies implemented by international organizations, the actions taken by specific countries, and good practices and lessons learned on e-government processes. Conclusions reached indicate that the e-government process does not lead to an improvement in developing countries if it is not planned and is not well executed.
