Relations among Actors in Governmental Projects: The Case of Paraná mGov

Electronic Government And Mobile Government

To present the context of the use of mobile telephony by the Government of Brazil, one must first understand how eGov and mGov take place.

In Brazil, the State reform is a historical process whose dimension is proportional to its crisis. It began in the 1970s, boomed in the 1980s, brought about the reappearance of Liberalism and a profound critique of the forms of intervention or the regulation of the State. In the 1990s, this theme became very broad and complex, as it involves political, economical and administrative aspects. The intended result was a more efficient State, properly reaching the citizens. It would be a state acting in partnership with society and in accordance with its desires, not exactly trying to protect the market, but rather trying to render itself more able to compete (Bresser-Pereira, 1998).
