Mini track: ICT for Digitizing Government Initiatives and Civic Engagement

Track: ICT and Global Development (SIG GLOBDEV)



The emergence of newer technologies such as smart devices, artificial intelligence (AI), social media, or Internet of Things (IoT) has redefined how the governments across the world deliver services to their citizens. The governments are rapidly transforming public services offered to various stakeholders by leveraging these new technologies, thereby becoming more agile in responding to citizens' needs. Further, these technologies have empowered citizens to engage in democratic processes in a manner rarely seen before such as mobilizing other citizens on key political issues through social media or increased electoral participation through e-voting.



The objective of this mini track is to provide a forum for discussion of original research highlighting the role of newer digital technologies like smart devices, social media, artificial intelligence, and Internet of Things (IoT) in shaping the technical, organizational, managerial and socio-economic aspects of public services offered by governments around the world.



Mini-track topics are, therefore, focused on but not limited to the following list.



1. Use of smart devices, social media, artificial intelligence, and Internet of Things (IoT) in delivering e-services

2. Impact of social media on civic engagement and democratic processes

3. E-voting and new modes of citizens' participation in electoral process

4. Case studies of new civic and democratic engagement models/frameworks in the digital age

5. Civic engagement challenges in digital age

6. Evaluation models for assessing the impact of newer information technologies on civic and democratic processes

7. Data analytics strategies to expand e-government and services

8. Information bias and its impact on civic and democratic processes

9. Rumors and fake news in the digital age and its impact on democratic outcomes

10. Risks, concerns, and ethics in relation to the use of smart devices, social media, artificial intelligence, and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies..
