This multidisciplinary book analyzes the implications of\u003cbr\u003e digital technologies and services for governance structures and government action, particularly in\u003cbr\u003e Kenya. Using the emerging concept of digital ecosystems, it uniquely combines digital\u003cbr\u003e development, sustainability, and governance research. This book identifies factors characterizing\u003cbr\u003e digital ecosystems and challenges to their sustainable digital development (e.g., lack of common\u003cbr\u003e understanding, power asymmetries and dependencies of multi-stakeholders). For addressing\u003cbr\u003e these challenges, it proposes coordination mechanisms including governance roles, governance\u003cbr\u003e formats such as multi-stakeholder partnerships, as well as alternative solutions such as\u003cbr\u003e coordinative digital platforms. These findings emphasize a deeper discussion around the digital\u003cbr\u003e transformation as a driving force and the global emphasis on partnerships if these are to foster\u003cbr\u003e and not impede sustainable development.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the author\u003cbr\u003e Carolin Stötzel holds a PhD in Political Science focusing on digital policy and international\u003cbr\u003e cooperation.
