Abstract Indonesia is a country that has great potential to develop e-government properly. However, for more than two decades, Indonesia has been unable to conduct e-government development properly. Based on research data, one of the reasons underpinning this phenomenon is the policy factors. In this paper, the researcher analyzes various types of e-government policies made by the central government of the Republic of Indonesia over the last two decades. The analysis results revealed that Indonesia's e-government policies were not dynamic and that they could not keep up with the very rapid technological developments. Therefore, e-government development process cannot be conducted dynamically.
