This multidisciplinary book analyzes the implications of\u003cbr\u003e\ndigital technologies and services for governance structures and government action, particularly in\u003cbr\u003e\nKenya. Using the emerging concept of digital ecosystems, it uniquely combines digital\u003cbr\u003e\ndevelopment, sustainability, and governance research. This book identifies factors characterizing\u003cbr\u003e\ndigital ecosystems and challenges to their sustainable digital development (e.g., lack of common\u003cbr\u003e\nunderstanding, power asymmetries and dependencies of multi-stakeholders). For addressing\u003cbr\u003e\nthese challenges, it proposes coordination mechanisms including governance roles, governance\u003cbr\u003e\nformats such as multi-stakeholder partnerships, as well as alternative solutions such as\u003cbr\u003e\ncoordinative digital platforms. These findings emphasize a deeper discussion around the digital\u003cbr\u003e\ntransformation as a driving force and the global emphasis on partnerships if these are to foster\u003cbr\u003e\nand not impede sustainable development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the author\u003cbr\u003e\nCarolin Stötzel holds a PhD in Political Science focusing on digital policy and international\u003cbr\u003e\ncooperation.
