# STATE FAVOURABLE WORLD ORDER USA (2011) Coordinated International Cyberspace Policy This strategy is a roadmap allowing the United States Government’s departments and agencies to better define and coordinate their role in our international cyberspace policy, to execute a specific way forward, and to plan for future implementation. It is a call to the private sector, civil society, and end-users to reinforce these efforts through partnership, awareness, and action. Most importantly, it is an invitation to other states and peoples to join us in realizing this vision of prosperity, security, and openness in our networked world. These ideals are central to preserving the cyberspace we know, and to creating, together, the future we seek. Figure 12 – Favourable World Order in Cybersecurity Strategies 7.6 GOVERNANCE This last case is not one of the four national interest categories we identified in section 6.5. The crosscutting case deals with building the confidence of citizens and business in government systems. This case is popular due to attempts to create effective, efficient and responsive ICT-enabled government operations. Electronic Government (eGovernment) enables governments to re-invent themselves and get closer to their citizenry within the context of national development agendas (Okot-Uma 2000).” ICTs support innovative, transparent and accountable service delivery to citizens and businesses. Governments also regard ICTs as crucial tools for fighting corruption and inefficiency in the public administration system. As the strategies in Figure 13 indicate, governance considerations prompt cybersecurity strategies as citizens and businesses shun eGovernment systems with confidentiality, integrity and availability issues. # STATE GOVERNANCE ENDS Estonia (2008) Pioneer e-Government Practices In Estonia we are accustomed to the availability of e-services in a wide range of private and public fields. This is reflected in our people’s exceptionally high confidence in the use of information systems. ... Estonia has been recognised internationally as a pioneer in egovernment and e-election practices. New Zealand (2011) Government Services Online Government agencies utilise the Internet, digital document management systems and shared online platforms in their day-to-day business. Increasingly, New Zealanders are accessing government services online, to complete tasks such as submitting tax returns and making applications for passport renewals and student loans. UK (2009) Efficient Services The Government itself is reliant on cyber space and, through programmes such as the Transformational Government Strategy, provides efficient services to the public whenever and wherever they want them. All of these activities rely on the Internet and exploit the benefits of cyber space – and more will follow. Figure 13 – Governance End in National Cybersecurity Strategies 45
