In this book, Darrell West discusses how new technology is altering governmental performance, the political process, and democracy itself by improving government responsiveness and increasing information available to citizens. Using multiple methods--case studies, content analysis of over 17,000 government Web sites, public and bureaucrat opinion survey data, an e-mail responsiveness test, budget data, and aggregate analysis--the author presents the most comprehensive study of electronic government ever undertaken. Among other topics, he looks at how much change has taken place in the public sector, what determines the speed and breadth of e-government adoption, and what the consequences of digital technology are for the public sector. Written in a clear and analytical manner, this book outlines the variety of factors that have restricted the ability of policy makers to make effective use of new technology. Although digital government offers the potential for revolutionary change, social, political, and economic forces constrain the scope of transformation and prevent government officials from realizing the full benefits of interactive technology. 606 $aInternet in public administration$zUnited States 606 $aAdministrative agencies$zUnited States$xData processing$xEvaluation 606 $aPolitical participation$zUnited States$xComputer network resources 606 $aDemocracy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInternet in public administration 615 0$aAdministrative agencies$xData processing$xEvaluation. 615 0$aPolitical participation$xComputer network resources. 615 0$aDemocracy. 676 $a352.3802854678 700 $aWest$b Darrell M.$f1954-$0861443 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456816703321 996 $aDigital government$92487451 997 $aUNINA
