520 _aPublic sector researchers largely portray digitized government as following a maturational movement that will ultimately sustain electronic democracy. An alternate view maintains that digitized government reflects broader public policies that drift and change over time; as a result, it embraces two discrete curvilinear processes-e-government and e-governance. This study compares these differing frameworks by employing successive evaluations published by theUnited Nations of member Web sites from 2003 to 2010. Partitioning appears in the findings. Countries worldwide are pushing the aggregate means higher for digitized government. Yet, disaggregate best practices among early-adopter countries exhibit significantvariability, including in industrialized societies. The findings doubt the maturational view as they bear out the curvilinear construct. The conclusions demonstrate that the potential for an electronic transformation abates before the Great Recession. - Reproduced.
