Beschreibung

The impact of the digital transformation on countries' sustainable development is increasingly discussed in both theory and practice. This multidisciplinary book analyzes the implications of digital technologies and services for governance structures and government action, particularly in Kenya. Using the emerging concept of digital ecosystems, it uniquely combines digital development, sustainability, and governance research. This book identifies factors characterizing digital ecosystems and challenges to their sustainable digital development (e. g. , lack of common understanding, power asymmetries and dependencies of multi-stakeholders). For addressing these challenges, it proposes coordination mechanisms including governance roles, governance formats such as multi-stakeholder partnerships, as well as alternative solutions such as coordinative digital platforms. These findings emphasize a deeper discussion around the digital transformation as a driving force and the global emphasis on partnerships if these are to foster and not impede sustainable development. About the author Carolin Stötzel holds a PhD in Political Science focusing on digital policy and international cooperation. She is an expert in digital transformation, governance, and sustainable development.
