Chapter 4 in Foundations of Digital Government, 2014, pp 51-66 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The rise of the internet in almost all domains of personal and business life means that the public sector is also becoming increasingly involved in digital process management. Hence, a legal basis for digital government is necessary. In this chapter, the most fundamental aspects of this young and developing field are outlined. Regulation of digital government services and delivery is globally very heterogeneous. With a focus on Europe and particularly Germany, “e-government legislation” initiatives are introduced and contrasted with the respective parallel developments in the United States of America. Secure and private communication and storage of information has been identified as one of the key drivers of digital government initiatives. Hence, legal regulations relating to encryption, data protection, and privacy stand in the foreground of this chapter. Finally, the domain of e-inclusion – the inclusion of citizens with disabilities – is addressed in the remainder of the chapter.
