The construction of cloud-based eGovernment is a challenge for public administrations around the world. One key reason is that the adoption of cloud services requires an understanding of the related technologies to exploit the opportunities while avoiding the pit-falls. In fact, it is almost impossible for government 􍾢􀁇in particular in small countries 􍾢􀁇to build and maintain such expertise in-house. Instead, cloud-based eGovernment services are a natural breeding ground for collaboration across organizational and sectoral limits. This presentation examines the ideas and institutions of collaboration in eGovernment in Denmark and China. Various dimensions can be involved in collaboration in eGovernment, for instance, businesses, citizens, or other government entities; and it can take place across borders as well. There are many different ideas which can motivate collaboration, and the results can be quite different. However, the main interest here is to identify whether a general trend can be identified towards or away from collaboration in eGovernment.
