CALL FOR ARTICLES

Special Issue on E-Government in Developing Countries
International Journal of Electronic Government
Research
Submission Deadline: April 15, 2007

Guest Editor: Dr. Mila Gasco  

INTRODUCTION

In the new era, access to the Internet and knowledge
about the use of computers has become an expectation
and an obligation for economic, social, political, and
civic participation. In this sense, private sector
efforts are welcome, but public initiatives, among
them the electronic government ones, are critical.
Although several projects have been carried out all
over the globe, the development of e-government
initiatives is unequal depending of the region of the
world where they take place. Thus, while countries
such as the United States, Great Britain, Sweden,
Singapore, Australia or Canada are the leaders when it
comes to implement these programs, the same cannot be
said about most developing nations. 
 
OBJECTIVE OF THE SPECIAL ISSUE

This special issue is aimed at understanding how
developing governments and public administrations have
chosen to pursue their e-government initiatives.
Therefore it aspires to describe how e-government
initiatives are taking place in different developing
countries, to provide insightful analysis about those
factors that are critical in an e-government design
and implementation process, to discuss how contextual
factors affect e-government initiatives success or
failure, and to propose strategies to move forward and
to address future challenges in the context of
developing countries.

RECOMMENDED TOPICS include but are not limited to the
following:

E-administration and back office initiatives
Online information delivery
Electronic service delivery
Online transactions
Online participation
Electronic democracy
E-government design and implementation
Evaluation of e-government initiatives
E-government country’s strategy
Local e-government practices

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit
papers for this special theme issue on E-Government in
Developing Countries on or before APRIL 15, 2007. All
submissions must be original and may not be under
review by another publication. Authors of accepted
papers will be notified by JUNE 15, 2007 about the
acceptance status and will receive accepted paper
organizational guidelines. Full chapters are expected
to be submitted by no later than SEPTEMBER 1, 2007.
All submitted papers will be reviewed on a
double-blind, peer review basis. Papers must follow
APA style for reference citations.

Inquiries and submissions can be forwarded
electronically (Word document) to Mila Gasco
(mila_gasco at yahoo.es).
