‘In the last 25 years, e-government research has made significant progress from descriptive efforts to sound qualitative and quantitative analyses. This Handbook constitutes an exemplar of what e-government research currently entails, including topics such as collaboration, data sharing, citizen engagement, trust, security, privacy, emergent technologies, and the importance of context. Based on a global perspective, the Research Handbook on E-Government represents a comprehensive and diverse collection of current topics, critical reflections, and cases from around the world and I highly recommend it.’
