Abstract
Recently, various governments have seized the moment provided by information and communication technology as the ideal opportunity to rethink and reformulate their administrative praxis. The digitally-enabled collaboration and cooperation perspective among different government agencies–commonly referred to by the acronym Government-to-Government (G2G)-is the main focus of this study. Multiple case study explanatory methodology based on two recent real-life cases were adopted, namely the digital link between the Brazilian Central Bank and the Federal Senate, and another digital link between the Brazilian Central Bank and the Brazilian Justice Department. From these case studies, a heuristic model is proposed for successful implementation of G2G endeavors. Finally, some conclusions are drawn and further research is presented in order to assist policy makers and public administrators in dealing with this new field of knowledge adequately.
