Project: E-government in an inter-administrative context
(2002-2006)
Objective
Although e-government offers new possibilities in the field of inter-administrative
collaboration and integration, in practice this issue still raises numerous
questions. The ‘e-government in an inter-administrative context’ research
project focuses, on the one hand, on the sticking points that the inter-administrative
relations impose on a project which is being conducted across several
levels of government. On the other hand, it explores what consequences
e-government has for the existing inter-administrative relations. E-government
allows fundamental changes to be introduced in supervisory relations
and allocations of tasks and competences, or can even give rise to new
forms of administrative organisation that are no longer based on concepts
such as hierarchy, territory, supervision and control.
The research will be carried out on the basis of case studies. In the
selection of the cases, attention will be paid expressly to practical
cases in which information is an important ingredient, in which there
is a high degree of fragmentation in information and public services,
and in which actors of various levels of government are involved in
the service providing processes.
