Research Issues in Digital Government
Research forms the heart of the National Center for Digital Government. Our research studies focus on two major questions. The first is: What is the capacity of existing institutions to seize the opportunities that new information technologies offer in digital government? The second broad question reverses the causal arrow to ask: What is the potential impact of the Internet on digital government?
