“…Regarding inefficient administrative structures and insufficient authority at the local level, Goulas and Kontogeorga (2013) reported on a decentralization effort of e-government in Greece, in part as a response to the global financial and economic crisis, which started seriously affecting Greece in 2009. Decentralized and locally controlled e-government services are more flexible to respond to local needs in crises.…”

Aim/purpose – Disasters or catastrophic events create unforeseen circumstances and require new approaches from local and national administrations in addressing the nega- tive impacts on society and the economy. Determining the role of e-government in providing the kind of services that are especially needed has become particularly rele- vant during COVID-19. This paper aims to assess the progress and current state of research on the role of e-government during or in the aftermath of catastrophic events. The purpose of this research is twofold: one, to benefit scholars by providing directions and a basis for further research, and two, to offer guidance to decision-makers involved with disaster management. Design/methodology/approach – The methodology used in this study is a systematic literature review. Multiple databases, including EBSCO, Elsevier, Emerald, JSTOR, Google Scholar, SAGE, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Springer, Taylor and Francis, and Wiley Online Library were searched for appropriate papers. In total, 36 papers published between 2004 and 2022 met our inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Findings – The study produced three types of findings. First, an analysis of the themes and trends in the existing literature. Second, a synopsis of the published research find- ings in the reviewed papers. And third, a description of the needs and opportunities for further research. Research implications/limitations – This study should help other researchers in direct- ing their efforts in further exploration, and it should help people involved with real-life disaster management to navigate through the effective role and application of e-government. The main limitation is that we found only 36 research papers that met our inclusion criteria. Originality/value/contribution – Despite the potentially critical role that e-government may have in mitigating the negative effects of catastrophic events, research on e-government in disaster management seems to be still underdeveloped, and to our knowledge, there is no published systematic review of such research. Keywords: disaster management, e-government, literature review. JEL Classification: H11, H12, I31, O21, O35.

“…After 2010, due to the economic crisis, many legislative and structural reforms took place in Greece (Goulas & Kontogeorga 2013), to change the way municipalities work and increase their efficiency. At that time, the Greek government released a transparency plan to control corruption in different sectors (Sourlas 2013), where e-government was presented as a crucial element.…”

“…Thus, the municipalities were invited to adjust to new management practices, adopting high-quality actions with the use of new Information & Communication Technologies (ICT) (Goulas & Kontogeorga 2013). These aimed to facilitate citizens' transactions, to contribute to the interoperability of their services with other public services, and to upgrade the administrative capacity (Alexopoulos et al 2018).…”

“…As a result, the budget of each Member State underwent many changes, especially in terms of revenue structure and expenditure destination (Dornean & Sandu, 2013). Goulas and Kontogeorga (2013) reviewed the state of the art of the e-government development in Greece, where the consequences of the financial crisis gave additional motivation to use decentralization to make local self-government more efficient. Along similar lines, Dornean and Sandu (2013) also analyzed the main effects of the global financial and economic crisis on the EU budget.…”

Every e-government development has its supporting factors and various limitations that hinder the implementation of e-government initiatives and further improvement of e-services. This paper examines and evaluates the specific challenges, trends and the progress of e-government between the years 2008 and 2014 in the European Union Member States based on the global e-government development indices. It is focused on the effects and consequences of the European recession, which started as the global financial crisis in 2007 and was followed by the European debt crisis since the end of 2009. The purpose of this research study is to understand the influence of selected indicators on the e-government development in order to uncover similarities and identify areas that were affected by the crisis a need further improvement. The results of this work may be used to introduce more efficient measurements and benchmarking frameworks of the e-government development. The main methods used are descriptive, correlation and cluster analysis.
