ABSTRACT

The East Asian countries, including China, Japan, and Korea, have experienced different modernization processes, which evolved into the diverse political and economic systems today. There exists not only the economic gap between the developed and least-developed countries, but also the political gap between the liberal democratic countries and the socialist dictatorship in the East Asia. Such disparities in political and economic systems cause the differences in objectives, expected outcomes, project contents, and development strategies of the e-government among the East Asian countries.
