When e-Government was first conceived, it was designed upon basic technologies where the emphasis was only on the simple display of government information for citizens to read. Nowadays, e-Government design comprises many complicated modules such as upload and download consoles, two-way interaction consoles between citizens and government agents, integrated government business processes presenting the whole of government, and it does not depend solely on technology. The complexity of e-Government has now evolved to include political, cultural, economic, social and technical dimensions. Bringing all these difficult aspects together is so complicated that it needs carefully planned strategies informed by local contextual characteristics. Rather than giving formulaic definitions and conceptual standpoints on many aspects of e-Government, as is the case in many e-Government publications, this book will explore the frontiers of global knowledge value chains by discussing current and future dimensions of e-Government. For example, the book discusses the concept of data governance by exploring how actual opening up of government data can be achieved, especially in a developing world context. Further, the book posits that opening government data should be followed by the opening up of government business processes in order to peddle the concept of accountability and responsiveness. Much text on data governance has concentrated on articulating the basic definitions surrounding this concept. Another very important topic explored in this book is regarding how the concept of decolonisation can be extended to e-Government by providing practical examples as to how researchers in the developing world can contribute to the advancement of e-Government as a scientific field of enquiry and guide its implementation, thereof. Decolonisation is advocated for in e-Government research so that there is a balance in the inclusion of the Afrocentric knowledge into e-Government advancement other than over-reliance on the Euro-, Asia- and America-centric knowledge value chains (Mbembe 2015). As e-Government is a very expensive undertaking, the issue of funding has excluded African countries and a majority of the developing world from implementing e-Government. Despite funding being a critical cornerstone of e-Government development, there is a dearth of information on this topic. Therefore, this book provides a chapter which discusses traditional and innovative ways of funding e-Government design and implementation which can go a long way in improving e-Government penetration into the developing world. Further, the book explores how intelligent e-Government applications can be designed, especially in resource-constrained countries. A couple of emerging technology innovations such as fog computing and intelligent information technology are explored within the realm of e-Government design. 606 $aPolitics & government$2bicssc 606 $aInformation technology: general issues$2bicssc 615 7$aPolitics & government 615 7$aInformation technology: general issues 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346038103321 996 $aThe e-Government Development Discourse$92235172 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03477nam 2200745 450 001 9910456510303321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-282-03402-2 010 $a9786612034022 010 $a1-4426-8312-0 024 7 $a10.3138/9781442683129 035 $a(CKB)2430000000001487 035 $a(EBL)4672231 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000312832 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11258340 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000312832 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10331686 035 $a(PQKB)10808866 035 $a(CaBNvSL)thg00600732 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3257970 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4672231 035 $a(DE-B1597)465094 035 $a(OCoLC)1002232785 035 $a(OCoLC)1004870905 035 $a(OCoLC)1011461805 035 $a(OCoLC)1013947680 035 $a(OCoLC)944177335 035 $a(OCoLC)999378718 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781442683129 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4672231 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11257905 035 $a(OCoLC)288145806 035 $a(EXLCZ)992430000000001487 100 $a20160922h20052005 uy 0 101 0 $aita 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aVite italiane $edodici conversazioni con italiani /$fUgo Skubikowski 210 1$aToronto, [Ontario] ;$aBuffalo, [New York] ;$aLondon, [England] :$cUniversity of Toronto Press,$d2005. 210 4$dİ2005 215 $a1 online resource (180 p.) 225 0 $aToronto Italian Studies 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8020-9489-9 311 $a0-8020-4887-0 327 $tFrontmatter -- $tSommario -- $tPrefazione -- $tPrima conversazione: Giulia -- $tSeconda conversazione: Bianca -- $tTerza conversazione: Lelio -- $tQuarta conversazione: Carla -- $tQuinta conversazione: Gennaro -- $tSesta conversazione: Dania -- $tSettima conversazione: Giancarlo -- $tOttava conversazione: Adriana -- $tNona conversazione: Renzo -- $tDecima conversazione: Rita -- $tUndicesima conversazione: Piero -- $tDodicesima conversazione: Stefano 330 $aIn this companion volume to L?Italia verso il Duemila, Ugo Skubikowski provides a glimpse into authentic Italian life through the presentation of twelve interviews with Italians. Intended as a text for students in second-year university and beyond, Vite italiane brings together discussions with Italians from different regions and backgrounds, who speak candidly about a wide range of experiences. Among those we encounter are a recent university graduate, a widow raising a young daughter as a single mother, a high school teacher who has traded her leftist political activism for a new, more moderate approach, and a successful, ambitious restauranteur. These and other interviews provide a fascinating and varied picture of life in Italy as experienced and described by Italians themselves. 410 0$aToronto Italian studies 606 $aItalian language$vTextbooks for foreign speakers$xEnglish 607 $aItaly$xCivilization$y20th century 607 $aItaly$xCivilization$y21st century 607 $aItaly$xHistory$y20th century$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aItalian language$xEnglish. 676 $a458.2421 700 $aSkubikowski$b Ugo$0450428 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456510303321 996 $aVite italiane$92479026 997 $aUNINA
