The first idea of a digital administrative law was born in Italy in 1978 by Giovanni Duni and was developed in 1991 with the name teleadministration
In the public administration debate about New Public Management (NPM), the concept of digital era governance (or DEG) is claimed by Patrick Dunleavy, Helen Margetts and their co-authors as replacing NPM since around 2000-05
DEG has three key elements: reintegration (bringing issues back into government control, like US airport security after 9/11); needs-based holism (reorganizing government around distinct client groups); and digitization (fully exploiting the potential of digital storage and Internet communications to transform governance)
Digital era governance implies that public sector organizations are facing new challenges and rapidly changing information technologies and information systems
Since the popularization of the theory, it has been applied and enriched through the empirical works, such as the case study done on Brunei's Information Department
The case study demonstrated that digital dividends that can be secured through the effective application of new technology in the digital governance process.
