Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Politics - International Politics - Topic: Miscellaneous, grade: 1,7, University of Passau, language: English, abstract: Nowadays government administration has become outdated. The paper based administration has become too slow for nowadays speed of services and shows an immense need for innovation. Since the introduction of the internet and information technology, society shifted the way we engage with each other. Where the private sector managed to restructure business, governments haven't managed to shift towards a more effective use of resources and time. One of the first countries to introduce a different mindset on how a government should operate was Estonia. This approach of a shift treating a citizen as a consumer and on the other hand seeing government as a producer, rather than just executor had an immense impact on the country. This approach on being a service oriented government had proven itself as reliable and made Estonia to a leading technology hub worldwide. This concept, of restructuring a state by having an effective government is transferable to the fairly new Western Balkan states. The goal of this essay is to measure the possible impact of E-Governmant for economic growth, prosperity and development for the relatively poor Balkan states. This essay is conducted as following: 1) Introduction to the importance of the topic; 2) Theoretical basis of e-Government and successful implementations; 3) The story of E-Estonia; 4) Analysis of implementation in the Balkans; 5) Closing remarks
