“…This is because the SLR method can avoid bias and subjective understanding of the research (Kitchenham, B & Charters, 2007). SLR has been proven to be a method that can provide an overview of research trends, effectiveness, and coverage of field research in previous studies (Ashiq et al, 2020;Jones & McBeth, 2010;Laufs et al, 2020;Liu et al, 2021).…”

Purpose: This research aim to analysis the main challenges and strategies in the bureaucratic reform process in developing countries. All countries in the world make bureaucratic reform their main agenda, including developing countries. However, the main focus of bureaucratic reform studies is still limited to developed countries. Methodology: Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, this research attempts to map the main challenges and strategies in the bureaucratic reform process in developing countries. The PRISMA method is used for the SLR process, from articles from international journals indexed by Scopus from 4 reputable publishers (Elsevier, Wiley, Taylor and Francis, and Emerald). A total of 16 relevant articles were analyzed to mapping bureaucratic reform trends in developing countries. Result: As a result, the main problems of bureaucracy in developing countries are the service was accused of being dysfunctional, fragmented, poorly organized, inefficient, ineffective, evasive, defeatist, delayed, reckless, self-serving, inexplicable, irresponsible, corrupt, non-transparent, irresponsible, and incapable meet citizens' expectations. The challenges faced are politicization, incompetent human resources and a corrupt culture. Conclusion: The strategy carried out by developing countries is mainly to carry out a transparent selection process and improve administrative standards. Originality/Value: Bureaucratic reform in developing countries is still a crucial problem in administrative studies. This research offers analysis of main problems and challenges of Bureaucratic Reform in developing countries.

“…Our methodology is first to derive a set of properties, that are drawn from general governance principles and election theory and then interpret them to the blockchain governance setting. We use a variety of sources to ensure the comprehensiveness of our property list that include the Council of Europe technical standards for e-voting [4], the Federal Election Commission's Voting Systems Standards [5] but also blockchain specific ones such as [6,7,8]. Given the set of properties, we then evaluate a wide array of blockchain platforms against those properties revealing each platform's unique strengths and weaknesses.…”

Blockchain systems come with a promise of decentralization that, more often than not, stumbles on a roadblock when key decisions about modifying the software codebase need to be made. In a setting where "code-is-law," modifying the code can be a controversial process, frustrating to system stakeholders, and, most crucially, highly disruptive for the underlying systems. This is attested by the fact that both of the two major cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin and Ethereum, have undergone "hard forks" that resulted in the creation of alternative systems which divided engineering teams, computational resources, and duplicated digital assets creating confusion for the wider community and opportunities for fraudulent activities. The above events, and numerous other similar ones, underscore the importance of Blockchain governance, namely the set of processes that blockchain platforms utilize in order to perform decision-making and converge to a widely accepted direction for the system to evolve. While a rich topic of study in other areas, including social choice theory and electronic voting for public office elections, governance of blockchain platforms is lacking a well established set of methods and practices that are adopted industry wide. Instead, different systems adopt approaches of a variable level of sophistication and degree of integration within the platform and its functionality. This makes the topic of blockchain governance a particularly fertile domain for a thorough systematization that we undertake in this work.Our methodology starts by distilling a comprehensive array of properties for sound governance systems drawn from academic sources as well as grey literature of election systems and blockchain white papers. These are divided into seven categories, confidentiality, verifiability, accountability, sustainability, Pareto efficiency, suffrage and liveness that capture the whole spectrum of desiderata of governance systems. We interpret these properties in the context of blockchain platforms and proceed to classify ten blockchain systems whose governance processes are sufficiently well documented in system white papers, or it can be inferred by publicly available information and software. While all the identified properties are satisfied, even partially, by at least one system, we observe that there exists no system that satisfies most properties. Our work lays out a common foundation for assessing governance processes in blockchain systems and while it highlights shortcomings and deficiencies in currently deployed systems, it can also be a catalyst for improving these processes to the highest possible standard with appropriate tradeoffs, something direly needed for blockchain platforms to operate effectively in the long term.

“…As noted in some works [Tan et al 2021, Rikken et al 2019 there are few studies of blockchain governance. Of these, most focus on the blockchain platform and do not consider the governance of other architecturally important elements such as applications and data [Liu et al 2021]. In addition, the question of how can a system be designed to enable governance is still open [Liu et al 2021].…”

Although Blockchain has grown in importance, great barriers still remain, including high failure rates, governance concerns and issues with quality attributes. These barriers have complex interactions and many trade-offs which suggests the need for design tools such as reference governance models and reference architectures. However, these tools are scarce and research in this area, especially governance, is sparse. The object of this research is thus to propose and then validate a new reference governance model and reference architecture to better design systems with desired attributes. The research will be conducted using the design science methodology and validated through case studies.
