Paper Abstract:
|
In this article we introduce and apply the GOV typology in order to analyze various e-Government tools, websites and interactive methods of the EU-project Open Government in Europe. In many ways these so-called Good Practices (GP) are state of the art examples of open data, e-government tools and innovative relationships between governments and active citizens in Europe. Rich though the examples may be, comparing and evaluating them is not easy, while learning from them or using a specific example in ones own situation is quite difficult. The proposed indicator GOV, while allowing for three distinct GOV strata, hugely improves the options for meaningful comparison between Good Practices and learning from them. Furthermore, with the GOV typology we observe a difference between the patterning of Good Practices, mainly found in GOV 1.0 and GOV 2.0 strata, and the subset of selected Best Practices, which tend to clustering in the GOV 2.0 and GOV 3.0 strata. Thirdly, due to the GOV indicator we have a better understanding of the workings of the Good Practices, especially the options of interaction between given GOV strata. The Dutch GOV 2.0 case Research on Civic Initiatives, DIY's & Liability illustrates such behavior, resulting in additional GOV examples, with clear indications of push and pull strategies due to attitudes of governments and citizens and thus providing a solid argument for interaction. |
