Introduction to Emerging Topics Minitrack

The e-Government Emerging Topics minitrack provides a home for incubating new topics and trends in e-Government research. E-Govemment as an academic field is evolving; new directions of research and practice are emerging while others are becoming accepted as foundational. However, the foundations of the field still need to be spelled out more explicitly and rigorously. This HICSS E-Govemment Emerging Topics minitrack includes papers that contribute to the evolution of e-Government research and to the clarification of the field. For the 2014 conference we received four quality; three papers, introduced below, were accepted for presentation at the conference and will be presented in one session.
