Summary: Lukewarm, Half-hearted and Unconvincing
Comment: This is barely what it purports to be- "an in-depth (collection of) case studies of the "state" of e-government today". At best, it's a lazy summary of the fits and starts that some agencies have experienced in demonstrating their good intentions in practicing e-government- even as they bungle this unique opportunity.
Unfortunately, the editors failed to capitalize on a prime value-added of e-government- ubiquitous Democracy .One would have thought that election 2000 would have spurred some reference to e-voting and perhaps the potential for e-mediated direct Democracy. Instead, readers are treated to a litany of inconsequential and lukewarm anecdotes that do little to support a picture of e-government revolutionizing our lives. One would have to wonder just how serious these two people are as journalists and thought-leaders.
Considering that US Governments at various levels spent between $45 billion and $70 billion per annum on IT from 1998 to 2001, I'd hoped for a truly in-depth study of exactly where all this money has been going and some indication as to how the next $45-$70 Billion will be spent on "E-Government 2002".
