Colonial Structures and Digital Governance

This book investigates the interplay between colonial structures and contemporary digital governance, examining their implications for the global economy and public service delivery in advanced societies. The first part analyzes how historical colonial frameworks have shaped current economic systems, influencing power dynamics, resource distribution, and socio-economic inequalities. By tracing the legacy of colonialism, the study highlights how entrenched structures continue to affect global trade, investment patterns, and economic development in formerly colonized nations. The second part focuses on the role of digital governance in enhancing public service efficiency and citizen engagement, with a comparative analysis of Sweden and Canada. It investigates how different digital governance models impact service accessibility, transparency, and responsiveness, revealing that Sweden's cohesive digital strategy fosters a more integrated public service delivery system compared to Canada's fragmented approach, which faces challenges related to legacy systems and inconsistent policies.
