English abstract
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.
