Abstract

In proposed paper the modern state and main trends of public management and public servicemodernization in the USA in the context of the “E-Government” initiative by President G.W.

On the basis of thereceived results “E-Government” initiative has been interpreted as important stage of developmentof e-governance in the USA in the context of solving problem of fundamentally new model of statebuilding’screation. Specifics of “E-Government” implementation by complex architectonics of sourcesaccording to valid demands of information society have been traced.In particular, it’s scientifically proven that in the USA the current trend to the convergence withcivil society as one of the main trends of the public management evolution against the background ofe-governance conception’s implementation is likely to persist.“E-government” as President G.W.

Context of this initiative implementation in the USA has been determined:information security (cyber-security), cybercrime and emerging challenges for systems protectingState information; important mission regarding privacy and confidential information protectionin post-industrial society. Process of accumulation and sophistication of architectonics of sources(doctrinal, legal, political etc) relating to “E-government” initiative in the USA corresponds withphases of conceptual emergence of e-governance model surrounding the core architectonic principle –principle of convergence between civil society, business and the State.
