Strategic horizontal e-government policy documents are analysed from 2000 to 2018 in Belgium, the United Kingdom and the European Union. A public value typology is developed which connects three-ideal type governance approaches: (1) hierarchy, (2) market and (3) network. The results show that market related public values often play a dominant role in e-government policy documents, but so do \u2013 to a lesser degree \u2013 network related public values. Hierarchy related public values are seldom dominant. At the national level, four factors explain the prioritization: The attention for a specific governance approach at a given time, the influence of politics, the specific topic of the e-government policy document and the role of authors. Power distribution at the EU level plays a key role in defining the public values balance. This articles contributes to the knowledge on public values in e-government policies, the wider discussion on governance approaches in public administration and the need to understand the relation between public values and public value creation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/ip-190126","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,18]],"date-time":"2020-02-18T17:44:41Z","timestamp":1582047881000},"page":"275-300","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Prioritizing public values in e-government policies: A document analysis"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Maxim","family":"Chantillon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"KU Leuven Public Governance Institute, Leuven, Belgium"}]},{"given":"Joep","family":"Crompvoets","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"KU Leuven Public Governance Institute, Leuven, Belgium"}]},{"given":"Vassilios","family":"Peristeras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"KU Leuven Public Governance Institute, Leuven, Belgium"},{"name":"European Commission, Brussels, Belgium"},{"name":"School of Science and Technology, International Hellenic University, Thessaloniki, Greece"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"10.3233\/IP-190126_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"119","DOI":"10.1016\/j.giq.2013.06.002","article-title":"ICT, public values and transformative government: A framework and programme for research","volume":"31","author":"Bannister","year":"2014","journal-title":"Government Information Quarterly"},{"key":"10.3233\/IP-190126_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"307","DOI":"10.3233\/IP-180072","article-title":"The fourth power: ICT and the role of the administrative state in protecting democracy","volume":"23","author":"Bannister","year":"2018","journal-title":"Information Polity"},{"issue":"2","key":"10.3233\/IP-190126_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"145","DOI":"10.1111\/0033-3352.00165","article-title":"Public-value failure: When efficient markets may not do","volume":"62","author":"Bozeman","year":"2002","journal-title":"Public Administration Review"},{"issue":"5","key":"10.3233\/IP-190126_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"369","DOI":"10.1504\/IJPP.2009.025077","article-title":"Public values theory: Three big questions","volume":"4","author":"Bozeman","year":"2009","journal-title":"International Journal of Public Policy"},{"issue":"4","key":"10.3233\/IP-190126_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"445","DOI":"10.1111\/puar.12238","article-title":"Public value governance: Moving beyond traditional public administration and the new public management","volume":"74","author":"Bryson","year":"2014","journal-title":"Public Administration Review"},{"issue":"1","key":"10.3233\/IP-190126_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"79","DOI":"10.1080\/23745118.2017.1346562","article-title":"The regional transposition of EU directives: A comparison of flemish, walloon and scottish performances","volume":"19","author":"De Coninck","year":"2018","journal-title":"European Politics and Society"},{"issue":"4","key":"10.3233\/IP-190126_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"512","DOI":"10.1016\/j.giq.2012.03.004","article-title":"A public value perspective for ICT enabled public sector reforms: A theoretical reflection","volume":"29","author":"Cordella","year":"2012","journal-title":"Government Information Quarterly"},{"key":"10.3233\/IP-190126_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"125","DOI":"10.3233\/IP-170061","article-title":"ICTs and value creation in public sector: Manufacturing logic vs service logic","volume":"23","author":"Cordella","year":"2018","journal-title":"Information Polity"},{"key":"10.3233\/IP-190126_ref12","unstructured":"Dickinson, H.
