Digital governance and geographic inequalities

The development of digital governance is affected by existing economic development inequalities between geographic regions, countries or even areas in the same country. However, digital governance can also contribute to the decrease of these inequalities and their negative consequences. There has been extensive debate concerning the differences between developed and emerging economies, between and within regions, and “haves” and “have nots”. This track aims at examining the impact of these geographic inequalities on the development of various aspects of digital governance, as well as approaches, policies, and ways of digital technologies’ usage by governments to reduce economic development inequalities, as well as their consequences. The track welcomes submissions regarding Southeastern Europe, the Mediterranean region, and regional and national comparisons between areas of different levels of economic development, including digital government development initiatives and projects in the context of low- and middle-income regions or countries.
