The Comparative Legal Framework of Islamic and Conventional Banking Systems

Abstract

Abstract: The research aims to examine the role of e-government in modernizing public utilities and improving their administrative and service performance. It focuses on the conceptual framework of e-government in terms of its definition, principles, and dimensions. The study also addresses its main objectives in the management of public utilities, including enhancing operational efficiency, improving the quality of services, increasing transparency and accountability, and reducing traditional bureaucracy that has long hindered the effectiveness of governmental performance. The research further relies on a comparative analysis of Arab and international experiences in the implementation of e-government, with particular attention to the challenges facing its adoption, such as data protection, cybersecurity, and the need to adapt existing legislation to digital transformations. The study concludes that e-government represents an effective strategic tool for developing public utilities, provided that clear legislation, flexible organizational structures, and qualified human resources are available. It also finds that integrating e-government into the management of public utilities is not merely a technical transformation; rather, it constitutes a strategic shift that links technology, law, and modern administration, thereby contributing to the modernization of governmental work and the promotion of transparency and accountability.
