E-Governance to E-Commerce : A Smart Transition

At first man was illiterate; long thereafter, but before the invention of paper, he became literate. In recent times man has become e-literate. The electronic revolution has transformed the way man does business and has brought about a great transformation in the law. This transformation has given birth to what we call ‘e-commerce’ and ‘e-governance’. In Sri Lanka, the enactment of the Electronic Transactions Act of 2006 has facilitated to a great extent the transformation from traditional modes of commerce to what we now call “e-commerce”, and more recently, from traditional modes of government to e-governance. Of course this transformation is an on-going process, which is both fascinating and challenging. This article, which was published in the Bar Association Law Journal at [2007] BALJ Vol. XIII at page 1, focuses on some pertinent issues that arise in the context of the transformation from a paper based world to a paper-less society.

I. Introduction II. Governance Framework III. Business to Consumer Electronic Contracts IV. Security of Electronic Contracts V. Business to Business Electronic Contracts VI. Conclusion Abstract Contract law provides a framework within which economic relationships can be established and administered, while electronic commerce (e-commerce) provides tools for reducing the costs of those activities. Application of traditional contract law concepts to e-commerce may result in uncertainty which may diminish the efficiency gains from technological innovation. This paper looks at the impact of e-commerce on the governance structures of commercial relationships generally, and in three specific major areas of commercial activity that have been most affected by e-commerce in recent decades. With regard to business-to-consumer electronic commerce and issues related to the security of e-commerce (including electronic signatures), "liberal market economies" (LME) such as the US have treated the growth of e-commerce as an opportunity for further deregulation of markets, while "coordinated market economies" (CME) including most EU members have responded with significant new regulations. By contrast, both LMEs and CMEs have allowed market forces to determine the direction of business-to-business e-commerce developments.

this book delves into the often scantily addressed issues of the policies and laws that govern the ICT realm, and the potential contentious issues, and possible solutions.

The growth and development of advanced communications networks, most outstandingly the Internet, has facilitated the creation of an expanding international electronic marketplace within which electronic commerce takes place with increasing frequency. The relative newness of this electronic forum has ensured that, until recently, e-commerce has been constrained by few rules, disciplinary procedures and operational norms, and has been characterised by considerable uncertainty about how to develop suitable governance arrangements. This paper considers the as-yetonly-weakly-established but nevertheless, nascent, structure of global e-commerce governance. It begins by establishing the character of the main regulation that has so far emerged. Next, it explores the likely shape of a World Trade Organisation (WTO) centred system of e-commerce regulation. We suggest that WTO regulation of e-commerce will result from a series of modifications to existing rules in key legal agreements administ...
