This book examines the practical linkages between public policy and Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) technological developments in African politics and governance. It broadly deals with three key areas – policy entrepreneurship, policy tools, and citizen participation functions of 4IR – in order to better understand the interfaces between public policy and technological transformations on the continent. It presents incisive case studies on topics including AI policies, mobile money, e-budgeting, digital economy, digitalising agriculture and digital ethical dilemmas, in order to throw light on African public policy and technological proliferations within the broader contexts of state politics and governance. The book will appeal to students, instructors, researchers and practitioners interested in African governance and digital transformations in developing countries.weiterlesen
