Environment [in eGovRTD2020] is a dimension which indicates that the future can either be stable or disruptive. A stable environment can be characterised by economic growth, a balanced world order, living in harmony, prosperity and welfare. Whereas in a disruptive environment all kinds of crises, terrorism attacks, cyber wars and other types of unexpected incidents occur. Also, religious tensions and a large social divide exist in an instable or disruptive environment.
