DESCRIPTION

Our theme for this workshop is Reflecting on Appropriate Global Development and the Role of ICTs and Digital Innovation. Access, use and innovations in ICTs to bring people in the remotest and poorest parts of the world as active participants in the global economy, has made the study of ICTs for Development an important means of understanding how improvements in people's lives may or may not take place through IS/ICT implementations. The Global Development workshop addresses questions that provide new and meaningful definitions of Development, such as, does development have to be a zero-sum game with winners and losers and what are the socio-cultural dynamics of international collaboration? In a world that is increasingly characterized by climate disturbance, natural disasters, economic crises, challenges to peaceful relationships within and between states, diminishing natural resources, exploitation and manipulation of natural resources with grave costs to the environment, and demands for participation in governance, one needs to ask; what lenses are there to understand these changes and challenges?  Can ICTs support the development, promotion and realization of a model of development that is holistic, inclusive, just and sustainable, and that will lead to an appropriate quality of life for each individual on the planet? And inevitably, one needs to ask questions about how to better understand these problems and challenges. The papers in this workshop will also further the knowledge of what we know about how ICT enables the global economy by enabling local needs to be met in a manner that preserves the ability of the planet to support human life.


WORKSHOP PROCEEDINGS:
These will be published on the SIG GlobDev website and in the AIS E-Library with ISBN: 978-0-9976176-9-6.
