A substantial amount of research has tried to figure out how political institutions can shape e-government innovations and link democratic countries' characteristics to the success of their e-government initiatives. However, the results have been mixed and empirically, the relationship remains unclear. This study examines the relationship between political regimes and e-government performance not just empirically but also with a focus on governments' perspectives of e-government. First, we use the United Nations E-government Development Index to establish the current patterns of e-government performance across different regime types, and then create our own typology of the various perspectives of different political regime types to e-government adopted in the literature. Through identifying the relationship between these perspectives and the e-government performance of each regime type, this study provides governments and policy makers with new evidence to come up with relevant policies and strategies that match particular political contexts.
