“…Historically uneven distribution of technology creation centers, and under-developed R&D in developing and emerging countries are the main reasons for digital inequality. Research into the role of ICT in development (ICT4D) is often based on the concept of the "digital divide" which can be defined as "lack of technological access or ownership existing between individuals, households, companies and regions" (OECD, 2001;Dey & Ali, 2016). The 11 Digital divide between technological levels of domestic and foreign enterprises.…”

This chapter discusses opportunities for the new digital economy, a strategically important factor of the economic growth for contributing to the Central Asia Digital Silk Road concept. Focusing on new opportunities for international cooperation, including the development of digital technologies, the chapter also draws attention to the fact that technology advancement causes changes in the economic system which may result in digital inequality. It argues that the O&G industry can become a key driver of growth and development and could potentially boost competitiveness across all sectors. The authors consider a set of public policies in ICT-related sectors in Kazakhstan. These policies are focusing on diversification from the O&G sector, supporting domestic companies and research, encouraging export-oriented projects, and pushing companies to join international initiatives.

“…ICTs are an evolving strategy in access to justice programming. Informatics and social sciences scholars debate the general advantages and disadvantages of ICTs in development (Dey, et al 2016), but so far there appears to be no study on what the implications of ICTs are in improving access to justice in post-conflict states. This section suggests a framework to determine whether to employ ICTs or not.…”

This research explores the relationship between information and communications technology (ICT) development and its impact on a country's economy during the COVID‐19 pandemic. This study has two primary objectives: (1) to understand how ICT development influences a country's economic resilience during a crisis, and (2) to examine the interrelationships between various country‐level ICT development measures. We use multi‐year, country‐level data made available by the United Nations, the World Bank, and World Health Organization to empirically examine our research model. Partial least squares path analysis is the primary research methodology employed in this study. Our results suggest that ICT development has a positive impact on economic resilience in the face of the COVID‐19 pandemic. In addition, our results specify the interrelationships between individual ICT development measures and economic resilience. This research contributes to the extant body of knowledge on the impact of country‐level ICT development on economy by empirically validating a research model that explores the relationships between the various measures of ICT development and economic resilience of countries during the COVID‐19 pandemic.
