dc.description.abstractThe book features eights chapters, each capturing an essential element of the dynamics in play between technology adaption, politics and the actors or implementors of technology. The author introduces us to the concept of Technopolitics and the relationship between technology,politics and Governments or implementors agenda’s and how this impacts development. Iginio Gagliardone conducted empirical research during 10 years to address why Ethiopia as a country, after having adopted technology and received sizable amounts of donations, development aid and support has it not shown visible signs of inclusivity and increased access to ICT. This issue was his reason for choosing Ethiopia as a case study, to serve as a lesson and example on region improvement and the role of technology as a tool for development planning and public participationen_US
