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-Government 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-Government Emerging Topics minitrack includes papers that contribute to the evolution of e-Government research and to the clarification of the field. For the 2013 conference we received twelve high quality papers, six papers, introduced below, were accepted for presentation at the conference and will be presented in two sessions.
