Pages 10-22 <br>
Karin Axelsson, Ulf Melin, Ida Lindgren<br>
Highlights<br>
<br>
► Agencies and citizens as e-government stakeholders are too diverse to be meaningfully addressed in e-service development. ► By adopting a multi-faceted perspective on stakeholders, public e-service development acknowledges further stakeholders. ► Our study
contributes with deeper insights about a situation where stakeholder salience changes over time. ► Stakeholder centered analysis of expectations helps to develop e-services offering external service and internal efficiency.<br>

<br>
► The study's theoretical model extends prior empirical work on electronic government adoption and use. ► Information quality plays an important but indirect role in influencing a person's use of a community municipal portal. ► Data was collected from real
users across five community municipal portal sites. ► Results are based on a structural equation modeling analysis on two separate cross-validated samples.<br>

Pages 45-55 <br>
Chun Liu<br>
Highlights<br>
<br>
► Theoretically, this paper complements the existing research on China's information policy, which is mostly one-shot and sector-specific, with a complete treatment of convergence policy evolution that involves both telecommunications and television. ► Practically,
this paper finds that there are two remarkable characteristics in China's convergence policy-making, namely, the causal relationship between institutional and policy change and the consistent policy objectives, which will continue to shape to future to come.
► Based on the findings, a sketch of the future regulatory regime and relevant policy recommendations are provided.<br>
