Abstract

The potential contribution of Actor-Network Theory (ANT) for representing e-government initiative flows from its ontological assumptions. However, these assumptions have never been critically reviewed using real e-government cases. Using two e-government cases in Indonesia, the paper tries to provide real evidence on how meaningful are all ontological assumptions of ANT for representing e-government.
