Special Issue on: "Methodologies, Technologies and Tools Enabling e-Government"

Guest Editors: Prof. Flavio Corradini and Prof. Alberto Polzonetti, University of Camerino, Italy

In the context of innovation in public administrations that is taking place in many countries, information and communication technologies play a significant role. This special issue focuses on ICT-based methodologies, technologies and tools enabling e-Government.

Methodologies play an increasingly important role in the management and definition of e-Government initiatives. Technologies improve their efficiency and effectiveness while tools allow new specific services and functionalities. All of these, of course, influence political, legal, cultural and organisational issues.
