This is the Second call for papers for the 8th European Conference on e-Government being held at the Ecole Polytechnique, Lausanne, Switzerland on the 10th-11th July 2008.

The European Conference on e-Government (ECEG) has become, over the years, the premier place for critically discussing the latest research in matters of electronic government and electronic governance more generally.

As governments seek to remodel and restyle their services, e-Government continues to arouse interest and attention. New dynamic issues such as e-democracy, e-citizenship, e-Identity and e-voting have become core elements in the development of public sector delivery. The multi-tier nature of e-Government, relevant at local government, central government but also at the supranational level such as the European Union, makes it of importance to academics and practitioners alike. Vital questions are posed which link technological development and a streamlining of government services to more social based values of inclusion, accessibility and power relationship ratios

e-Government encompasses more than just technology – it challenges the way in which public sector service providers and citizens interact. Democratic renewal, the transformation of service delivery, community leadership and citizenship integration are all key elements of this fascinating subject.

The advisory group for the conference invites submissions of papers on both the theory and advanced practice in respect of the conference themes outlined below, from academics, government departments and practitioners in the public and private sector. The conference to be held in Lausanne in July 2008 is also seeking case studies and reports of work-in-progress.
