Drawing on ten years of empirical work and research, analyses of
how open development has played out in practice.A decade ago, a
significant trend toward openness emerged in international
development. "Open development" can describe initiatives as
disparate as open government, open health data, open science, open
education, and open innovation. The theory was that open systems
related to data, science, and innovation would enable more
inclusive processes of human development. This volume, drawing on
ten years of empirical work and research, analyzes how open
development has played out in practice Focusing on development
practices in the Global South, the contributors explore the crucial
questions of who is allowed to participate when an initiative is
"open" and who benefits--or not--from them, finding that processes
characterized as open can sometimes be exclusionary in their
implementation. Examining a wide range of cases, they consider the
governance of open development ecosystems and the implementation of
a variety of applications, including open educational resources,
collaborative science, and the uses of crowdsourcing. Contributors
