Our basic premise that the governments' use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is not an end in itself, certainly not a technical exercise, but a tool to achieve better government. e-Government includes all measures to further this goal with the combination of ICT and the necessary organisational improvement. This definition is the point of departure for the rest of the course that covers: reasons to embrace e-government, challenges to e-government, planning of e-government, front-office and back-office implementations, and the management of e-government projects. eduCommons 2008-01-23T07:18:06Z Course text/html http://www.ocw.unu.edu/maastricht-economic-and-social-research-and-training-centre-on-innovation-and-technology/environment-and-sustainable-development eduCommons (course_default) 2008-01-15T11:18:45Z Course text/html http://www.ocw.unu.edu/maastricht-economic-and-social-research-and-training-centre-on-innovation-and-technology/innovation-dynamics-and-industrial-change eduCommons (course_default) 2008-01-15T11:11:23Z Course text/html http://www.ocw.unu.edu/programme-for-comparative-regional-integration-studies/introducing-regional-integration This course is designed as a general introduction to regional integration, and is particularly aimed at non-specialists. It reviews some of the main definitions of what constitutes a region, and identifies the basic concepts and approaches to integration. The course portrays both the diversity and the hierarchical nature of regionalism, and calls attention to the motivations that lead groups of states and regions to elect for one particular form of regional cooperation over another. The course guides the learner through a description of integration across the political, economic and security arenas, and highlights the existence of both micro-regions (sub-national) and macro-regions (supranational). Attention is given to both long-established and more recent systems of regional integration, and to the particular forms that regionalism has taken in Asia, Latin America, Africa and Europe. The overall aim of this course is to equip the reader with the basic tools necessary to understand the variety and scope of cooperation across countries and within countries, while appreciating the dynamic and complex nature of such arrangements. eduCommons 2007-11-02T08:19:59Z Course text/html
