Dear GKD Members,
For a more lengthy treatment of the issues surrounding e-government,
Internet access, censorship and dictatorships touched on in the article
cited by Jeff Kaplan in CIO Magazine, see the excellent article by William
J. Drake, Shanthi Kalathil, and Taylor C. Boas, "Dictatorships in the
Digital Age", reprinted on the Carnegie Endowment website with permission
from iMP Magazine:
http://www.ceip.org/files/publications/dictatorships_digital_age.asp
There are a number of other good articles at this site, which is the home of
the "Information Revolution and World Politics Project" at Carnegie.
In addition to this site, there are at least 40 good articles on
e-government developments in the Americas to be found at Punto-Com Magazine:
http://www.punto-com.com
Relevant to this discussion thread, there are several good articles at
punto-com.com following the rise and fall of GovWorks.com and its initiative
in Latin America which make good reading.
Perhaps we need a global location for links, discussion, resources, cases on
e-government. Or maybe the World Bank site
(www.worldbank.org/publicsector/egov) will serve this function.
Best,
Lee
