Digital Government: Achievements And Implementation Challenges

Abstract

This article covers the problem of development and implementation of digital government in the present-day world. The significance of the work is ascertained by the rapid development of information technologies and their transformation into a necessary part of social development and management. The objectives of our study are to identify typical trends in the use of digital government in the world and to study the achievements and specifics of practices in different countries. The work is based on an interdisciplinary approach, using the methods of political science, sociology, public administration, management and communication science. The study highlights the main achievements of countries in the implementation of digital government over the past 10 years. But the process of large-scale modernization, in addition to obvious successes, gives rise to various problems and difficulties that hinder many successful initiatives. The problems associated with digital government are diverse and complex in nature, related to both the peculiarities of the geographical location, the structure of the population and the level of social development, management traditions, economic and political factors. These aforementioned problems are significant and serious, but on the whole surmountable provided that the efforts of state and public institutions are coordinated. Our research is dedicated to the identification of these problems, their analysis and possible ways to overcome them.
