Title
Why does e-government looks as it does? looking beyond the explanatory emptiness of the e-government concept
Abstract
Why does e-government look as it looks? One could argue that the explanatory power of many e-government studies is weak. In this article it is argued that the explanatory power of -government studies could be improved by making use of three bodies of knowledge: a open innovation studies because ICT is an important source of innovation, b technology studies, because ICT is the outcome of a socio-political shaping process and c bodies of knowledge that address steering, because ICT is an act of steering to achieve political outcomes. Finally a synthesis of the results is being presented.
