Abstract

Estonia is a globally recognised leader in e-governance, having bypassed many countries when it comes to development of public e-services as well as e-democracy. From having been at the receiving end of international assistance and advice only a couple of decades ago, Estonia is now sharing its expertise—not least with Eastern Partnership countries for which it is especially well placed, sharing common history. The introduction of e-governance presents questions on what legal reforms or new laws that are necessary to support the technological process and also fundamental and principled questions related to values and attitudes to governance. Is it possible with the help of e-governance to export principles of good governance? In this chapter, the question is seen from the side of the exporter as well as from the side of the recipients, primarily Moldova and Ukraine. Details of e-governance transition in these countries is described, and it is discussed what it is that makes countries receptive to assistance to further good governance and democracy.
