Abstract: The growing complexity of the problems and needs of modern societies necessitate extensive negotiation and collaboration among government organisations from the same or even from different countries. Therefore it is an important challenge to extend 'electronic government' in this direction. In this paper we present the internet/WWW-based information system TNC (Trust-Negotiation-Collaboration), which offers a wide range of functionalities supporting initial trust relationship building and then negotiation and collaboration among public organisations. The development of TNC has been based on extensive analysis of the relevant requirements of public organisations from the USA and the European Union. Also, an application scenario of TNC is presented in the area of environmental policy design and implementation.
