Factors that affect the implementation of G2G E-government in countries with non-traditional governance : Libya as a case study

This research study clearly explains the application of G2G e-government within nontraditionalgovernance. This research was aimed at developing a framework thatidentified the key factors that affect the implementation of G2G e-government withinnon traditional governance using Libya as a case study.Libya is an Arab country in North Africa and similar to other Arab countries in manyways with respect to the location, language, religion, customs, values, culture, andhistory. But Libya is completely different in its political and economic system. Libyais a unique model of democracy, using a system of direct democracy, which dependson the power of the people through the People's Congresses as an instrument oflegislation. Libya has a public society, also there is no a Prime Minister in Libya andno any municipalities but its governance is based on People's Congresses and thesecommittees decide what legislation to be implemented.In order to achieve the research aim, four objectives have been accomplished. Byreviewing the relevant literature the theoretical framework was enhanced. Then theempirical work was carried out by collecting the data required for the research in threeLibyan public sectors namely the General Public Committee (Cabinet of Libya), theGeneral Public Committee for Planning (The Ministry of Planning) and the GeneralInformation Authority. After collecting the data it was analysed qualitatively toidentify and explore the key factors affecting e-government in the selected cases. Thefindings of the research have been discussed, using many tools for triangulation, tounderstand the implementation of e-government in the three cases, and to find thefactors affecting e-government within non-traditional governance, the initialtheoretical framework is revised accordingly to reflect the case studies' findings.This study is the first one that has identified both the factors and factors affecting egovernmentwithin the Libyan public sector. The significance of this research is thatlessons have been learned as well as solutions on how to apply e-government in acountry with non-traditional governance.XII
