“…There are different website assessment models [42,44]. Each of these models offers a solid perspective of how multiple factors influence the performance of a particular area of interest, service, or policy domain [7,10,11,14,43]. This article extends the model of ranking using the evolution perspective of Sandoval Almazan and Gil-García [42].…”

In the world of drugs, technology and the internet are being used as much for orientation, prevention, treatment, civil organization and definition of policies as for production, trafficking, marketing and consumption. Various debates arise concerning the impact of technology and the internet in this field. This article contributes with this body of literature through the study of the legal applications of technology. In particular, the websites of governments, civil organizations and international organisms dedicated to provide a virtual space for information, discussion and participation concerning different aspects of drugs and their effects on society, groups, family and individuals. The main objective of this article is to make a first evaluation of 137 websites from 51 countries and 35 international organisms specialized in themes related to drugs and drug policy. The evaluation consists of eight dimensions: information, interaction, data bases, transactions, integration, participation, performance, and style and design. The result is a premature world ranking of websites dedicated to drug policies and a list of practical recommendations for decision makers and administrators of these technologies. It includes some comparative examples between countries as demonstration of the usefulness of this assessment tool.

“…To make full use of IT, the fast-emerging concept of e-government portals must be better developed and publicised (Fletcher, 2002). One of the benefits of e-government is that it could open up the decision-making process to wider scrutiny.…”

This article is a primer on the emerging role for Information Technology (IT) in the Environmental Justice (EJ) movement. It explores current and potential uses of IT by EJ organisations fighting to protect vulnerable local environments and it addresses some of the barriers to more widespread movement efficacy via e-advocacy. We argue a chief but not insurmountable barrier is the disproportionate access to, and knowledge of, the benefits of using IT in the struggle for equitable decisions about environmental impacts.

“…The promises of digital government range from improved service quality to more effective and efficient government programs and policies [11,12,15,21]. However, digital government initiatives also face a great number of challenges from mismatched data structures and technical incompatibility to organizational resistance and unfavorable institutional arrangements [8,10,13,14].…”

This poster will present the results of a research project that investigates inter-organizational e-government in the Mexican federal government. These are e-government initiatives that involve a high degree of collaboration among multiple government agencies and certain degree of information integration. Using the technology enactment framework and a multi-method approach, this study will develop and test models of how interorganizational e-government projects operate. It will explain the complex relationships between organizational structures, institutional arrangements and the selection, design, and use of information technologies. It will also provide some practical lessons for project managers and policy makers interested in e-government.
