LEGAL FRAMEWORKS AND BARRIERS HINDERING THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIGITAL GOVERNMENT IN THE MEMBER-STATES OF THE EURASIAN ECONOMIC UNION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Examining and evaluating challenges, trends, and advancements of ICT4D and the features of E-Governance specifically in the member-states of the Eurasian Economic Union is defined as the main purpose of this article. The primary focus of the research issue is on the absence of a regulatory framework, the lack of coordination when changing legal acts, and implementation barriers based on cultural factors. The article contributes to the existing literature by advancing the understanding of the DOI theory, which focuses on four main factors of the model. Additionally, authors provide a detailed analysis of the practical implementation of E-Governance processes in the region, highlighting both successes and failures. Finally, the comprehensive analysis of E-Governance in the member-states of the EAEU may serve as a useful guide for scholarly community, practitioners and policy makers working in developing countries who are in wide sense represented as ‘intermediary in the struggle for social change’.
