The Waseda University Institute of e-Government announces the release of
its annual research on the development of e-Government worldwide, the Waseda
University International e-Government Ranking.
This year marks the 5th anniversary of the Waseda University international
e-Government Rankings. Aside from the annual rankings, the research group
also looked back on the past 5 years and studied the evolution of e-Government
since the research initially conducted. This year, to enhance the research,
changes were made on the ranking process to be able to reflect the current
times and best capture on the status of e-Government around the world.
This study also provides an insight into ongoing trends and developing
trends in e-Government. This year's study can be best described by the
theme "Review and Foresight".
Using a comprehensive set of parameters in order to benchmark the development
of e-Government in selected countries in the world, the outcome of this
research compares the real situation of e-Government in a given country
with an "ideal" e-Government situation.
The Waseda University International e-Government Ranking continues to be
the main e-Government benchmarking initiative in the Asian Region. The
results will be continuously cited by both governmental agencies and mass
media as well as research institutions in the world.
The final results of this research are attached with the hope that they
will give contribution to the e-government development.
