Abstract: Existing studies of e-government are mainly focused on the availability and level of complexity and customization of online services provided by public institutions at national level. This article aims at reviewing the main peculiarities of e-government initiatives developed worldwide, according to the ranking of different countries provided by 2013 International e-Government Ranking, developed by Waseda University Institute of e-Government. The main indicators embedded in this study are the following: network preparedness/infrastructure, management optimization, required interface/functioning applications, national e-government portal, e-participation/digital inclusion. Romania holds the 42 th place in this ranking, having assigned a score of 49.72/100. The results of the first survey are relevant for Romanian decision-makers in the field of e-governance, as our country needs to bridge the gaps between its e-government strategy and these of the countries included in our presentation.
