Comparative E-Government

From the reviews: "Electronic government (e-government) is global. This book's 32 chapters are written by a variety of international scholars and divided into three parts: 'Comparing Countries and Regions,' 'Country Case Studies,' and 'Innovations and Emerging Technologies.' Both government and new social media students will find this unique collection useful. ... this collection provides a truly global perspective of a significant topic."
