一般来说，修辞和神话在政策制定中发挥着重要作用。神话可能会激发集体行动，但也可能使人们对现实的看法变得神秘和模糊。在这篇文章中，我们确定，分析和反思的神话背后的电子政务计划的澳大利亚，加拿大，英国，丹麦和荷兰。我们发现，在所有的国家政策神话的技术必然性，一个新的和更好的政府，合理的信息规划，并赋予智慧的公民可以辨别。虽然这些神话的动员力量是公认的，我们的结论是，现有的实证研究产生了不可避免的目的，这些神话，这使得画布清洁电子政务举措的影响不大可能的支持。
In general, rhetoric and myth play important roles in policymaking. Myths may inspire collective action but may also mystify and blur views on reality. In this article we identify, analyze, and reflect on the myths underlying the e-government programs of Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Denmark, and the Netherlands. We found that in all national policies myths of technological inevitability, a new and better government, rational information planning, and empowerment of the intelligent citizen can be discerned. Although the mobilizing powers of these myths are acknowledged, we conclude that existing empirical studies have generated little support for the inescapable telos of these myths, which makes canvas cleaning effects of e-government initiatives less likely.
