Abstract:	Purpose – The purpose of this paper (editorial) is to introduce a collection of “best papers,” selected from the 11th International Conference on Digital Government Research (dg.o, 2010), that are devoted to the technical, managerial, social and policy challenges and issues of collaborative e-government. It provides a conceptual model for collaborative e-government that may be used to explain the motivations and findings behind these studies. Design/methodology/approach – The paper outlines a conceptual model of collaborative e-government using value-driven, citizen-driven, cost-driven and technology-driven forces that tie together various e-government collaboration projects. A brief survey of government collaboration projects is presented and a set of research questions on collaborative e-government are formulated. Findings – The conceptual model of e-government collaboration forces provides a framework that encompasses the research questions, topics and themes addressed in various digital government papers, especially those in this issue. Originality/value – The paper introduces and summarizes seven research papers relative to the theme of e-government collaborations, identifying a set of research challenges, opportunities, and unique solutions drawing on past experiences.
