When it comes to analyzing the phenomenon of digital government,
the overwhelming focus is on the most developed nations in the
world, and Western countries in particular. However, Kazakhstan, a
post-totalitarian country, has also proved to be successful in the
development of e-government. This book analyzes e-government
development in Kazakhstan from a multitude of dimensions,
including, but not limited to, political, social, economic and
technological platforms. It examines the adoption of a wide range
of technology-driven public sector projects and identifies the key
drivers, challenges, regulation policies and stakeholders of
e-government reforms in this transitional society. Taking into
account recent changes in governance, such as the development of
mobile government, the rise of civic engagement and the open
data-driven movement, and the overall formal progress of the
e-government project, this book addresses the emergence of new
challenges and concerns associated with the advancement of the
e-government concept. Furthermore, it suggests that a universal
framework can be applied when investigating e-government projects
in the developing world. Offering a wide range of practical
recommendations on how to overcome the problems associated with
e-government development, this book will be a valuable resource for
anyone wishing to improve their understanding of the
multidimensional nature of e-government. It will also be of key
interest to academics studying Political Science, Development
Studies, Public Policy and Central Asian Studies.

The main purpose of the book was to analyze heterogeneous political
and institutional aspects in the development of such an arguably
universal tool of modern democracy as e-government from the
perspectives of two nations with completely different systems of
governance and traditions of public administration and provide
generalizations on objective institutional limitations that
indirectly affect the implementation of political and
administrative decision-making in this area by governments of the
United States and Kazakhstan, representing respectively the typical
federal and unitary state. This book is both a policy review and
agenda setting research. By applying case studies of e-government
strategies in these two different countries both at the national
and local levels and analyzing corresponding legal and
institutional foundations, it offers ways forward for further
hypothesis testing and proposes a road map for e-government
practitioners to improve the strategic policy in this area in
Kazakhstan and other developing nations. It provides
recommendations on how to improve the regulatory and methodological
basis for effective implementation of interactive and transactional
services as well as how to solve challenges of an organizational
character in realization of e-government projects at the national
level, for example, by resorting to a promising phenomenon of civic
engagement and citizen-sourcing, creation of open data-driven
platforms and provision of information security measures, project
outreach in social media, etc.
This book combines theoretical and practical knowledge about key
actors and driving forces that help to initiate and advance open
data governance. Using Finland and Sweden as case studies, it sheds
light on the roles of key actors in the open data movement,
enabling researchers to understand the key operational elements of
data-driven governance. Examining the most salient manifestations
of related networking activities, the motivations of stakeholders,
and the political and socioeconomic readiness of the public,
private and civic sectors to advance such policies, it will appeal
to e-government experts, policymakers and political scientists, as
well as academics and students of public administration, public
policy, and open data governance.
This book offers a cross-national comparison of open data policies
in Estonia and Kazakhstan. By analyzing a broad range of open
data-driven projects and startups in both countries, it reveals the
potential that open data phenomena hold with regard to promoting
public sector innovations. The book addresses various political and
socioeconomic contexts in these two transitional societies, and
reviews the strategies and tactics adopted by policymakers and
stakeholders to identify drivers of and obstacles to the
implementation of open data innovations. Given its scope, the book
will appeal to scholars, policymakers, e-government practitioners
and open data entrepreneurs interested in implementing and
evaluating open data-driven public sector projects.
