Electronic Government, or Digital Government, is a multidisciplinary research domain, which studies the use of information and technology in the context of public policy making (electronic governance), government operations (management, organization, infrastructure, interoperability, security), citizen engagement (e-participation and digital democracy), and government services.

Numerous disciplines contribute to this intersection of research such as computer science, information systems research, information science, political science, organizational sciences (public administration and business administration), sociology, and psychology among others.

The HICSS e-Government track has been a hotbed for groundbreaking studies and new ideas in this particular research domain. Many studies first presented here were developed further and then turned into publications at top journals. Eight minitracks cover the full spectrum of research avenues of electronic government including a minitrack dedicated to emerging topics.

 

“Over the years, the  Electronic Government Track at HICSS has developed into a premier platform for researchers from around the world to present and discuss their best work with colleagues.”
