Electronic government is developing throughout Europe. Increasingly, central, regional, and local governments use ICT applications to perform their tasks. In the 1970s and 1980s, computers were mainly used to perform administrative tasks (including word processing). In the 1990s, juridical expert systems were introduced within government organizations: software programs which can solve juridical problems, either without any human interference or with limited human interference, by means of a reasoning mechanism and a “knowledge database” (Groothuis, 2004). Furthermore, government agencies started to use new ICT applications such as the Internet and e-mail to communicate electronically with citizens. This article examines the juridical aspects of automatic decision making and electronic communication by government agencies in The Netherlands and addresses the following questions: 1. What is the legal framework for automatic decision-making by government agencies in The Netherlands? 2. What is the juridical quality of decisions made by expert systems in practice? 3. What is the legal framework for electronic communication between government agencies and citizens in The Netherlands? 4. To what extent does electronic government exist in The Netherlands and what are its prospects for the period 2005-2007?

This article describes the challenges of establishing ethical decision-making in local government organizations. As governments operate in the “Sunshine,” the intense public and media scrutiny requires policy action on ethics for both elected and appointed officials. The ethical dilemmas facing public service are discussed as a prelude to developing ethics guidelines that reflect doing business in the 1990's. The City of Largo ethics policy is presented as an approach that recognizes the importance of merging a well articulated organizational value system with specific guidelines for ethical conduct.

This is an opinion-based review of other research work on systems thinking paradigms and the possible application to local governments within the United States of America. Systems thinking is a complex interaction of people to generate thoughts, concepts, and ideas for situations involving organizational processes and changes. Using systems thinking can encourage collaboration, participative leadership, and interpersonal relations, increasing organizational effectiveness. Local government organizations may benefit greatly from creating and using systems thinking, incorporating constituent input before making decisions. Taking current organizational theory and design and recognizing a knowledge gap, this specific opinion-based review of using systems thinking emphasizes the importance of maintaining leadership and effective communication, advantages and disadvantages of system thinking paradigms, and ethical considerations. As communities grow and diversity expands, local government organizations should also grow and expand with the changing demands of constituents and economic needs. My theory is that with the incorporation of systems thinking, local government representatives can increase the overall effectiveness of council meetings and decision-making.

In this paper the authors analyze the possibility of automated decision making in the administrative procedure, as one of the aspects of the development of e-administration. Services of e-administration are developing and expanding to numerous aspects of administrative work, with administrative decision-making being one of the most important and intriguing aspect. Having that in mind, the authors defined the term automated decision making and researched the question whether the legal framework of the Republic of Serbia enables the implementation of new, digital forms of administrative decision making. For that purpose, relevant provisions of the Law on General Administrative Procedure, the Law on Electronic Government and the Law on Personal Data Protection have been analyzed. The authors identified the situations of general administrative procedure within which it would be possible to consider practically, and in the near future normatively as well, the introduction of an automated decision making in the administrative procedure. A lesser portion of the paper is dedicated to the prerequisites and risks related to human rights and liberties when it comes to automated decision making in the administrative procedure.

eGov concerns both internal and external use of IT, for internal administration as well as for external services. It is about more IT use, better use and more strategic use. In this chapter, we shall focus on the external use, that is contacts between government and citizens and civil sector organizations, government and business, and among government organizations. The reason for this include the fact that this is the novel kind of IT use–internal IT use has been going on for decades, even if the amount and sophistication is now reaching new heights–and the kind that is seen as the most interesting component, and incentive, in restructuring government operations, for instance by increasing cooperation among government agencies and providing self-service facilities to citizens.
