“…broader than e-democracy, since it may also relate to non-political engagement, e.g. patient participation (Alarabiat, Soares & Estevez, 2016). However, by some, e-democracy is seen as an overall super term that involves e-voting, e-activism, e-participation etc.…”

Implementation of an e-participation system in a low-income region with poor infrastructure, limited access to ICT and low awareness of civic rights and responsibilities, is challenging and requires thorough understanding of the contextual conditions and requirements. Present study provides a qualitative analysis of the implementation phase of an e-participation platform mapping the specific factors that play key roles in defining the access to and the use of the system by the citizens. Social and political context as well as the design and management of the platform are found to be the two crucial dimensions defining successful use of a platform.

“…To enhance engagement in the eGovernment context, policymakers have been encouraged to go where citizens are (Alarabiat et al, 2016;Karantzeni & Gouscos, 2013). Thus, it is essential to understand the context when designing an effective eGovernment initiative if it is to have a greater chance of yielding expected impacts.…”

In this paper we propose a framework to explain the possibilities of ICT in ICT4D. The PAR (Possibility, Action, Result) framework is based on the theoretical concepts of IS artifacts, affordances, and the capability approach, and is further refined by findings from an eGovernment project in Indonesia aiming to develop a digital platform to facilitate inclusive public debate for the citizens. The framework describes the process by which IS artifacts enable various action possibilities and choices. Furthermore, the framework shows how actors may realize their possibilities and choices, which in turn enhances their functioning. Our analysis also revealed the role of conversion factors, such as personal commitment and digital literacy, that hindered the actors' ability to actualize the possibilities of ICT. We make three main contributions. First, the PAR framework explains the process by which ICT can enhance individual and collective capabilities. Second, the concept of IS artifacts describes the perception of ICT possibilities and choices in the ICT4D context. Third, the process of feedback explains how an outcome of an action can lead to perception of new affordances.

“…The most recent development is the digital economy (green cluster), which became a national priority in 2018. 1 Surely, keeping track of government policy is imperative. However, the absence of other stimuli seem to affect the disciplinary bias towards "softer" attempts to explain and justify policies, from the view of politics, economics management and law.…”

Positioning e-government as a discipline is a matter of continuous discussion, and it remains topical to estimate its conceptual integrity and explore the interconnection between the main research contexts, especially due to the emergence of new areas like e-participation. The analysis of the national research programs and their comparison to the global agenda is also becoming more salient. Addressing these two issues by means of a scientometrics approach, we explore the extended e-government domain on the global scale and in the Russian Federation. Findings suggest that the global e-government represents a coherent field, although further integration between research contexts is important. At the same time, the Russian e-government research is lagging behind, due to low internationalization and few stimuli for knowledge production.
