“…In the global context, Western-centric views tend to dominate, whereas in regional contexts, development manifests in different voices and value systems, such as nationalism, autonomy, equality or happiness. While sometimes contradictory and problematic, development discourses inevitably influence public policy and directions of social change as they define institutional logics (Hayes & Rajão, 2011), and provide framing and legitimization for the role of technology (see Ismail et al 2017 in this special issue). Escobar (1995) argues that development is a socially constructed discourse of Western ideology of modernity, which gives rise to the post-colonial and post-development theories (see De' et al in press in this special issue).…”

ICT4D research is faced with the challenge of rapidly changing technologies and increasingly complex social dynamics and development processes. We argue that ICT4D research requires a more acute sense of where our research is situated within a broader picture of development, e.g. with a better understanding of development processes, their ideological nature, the power structures and driving forces, and the mechanisms through which ICTs may be embedded in and shape these processes. Such a reflexivity is crucial not least in justifying our claims of contribution, but also in understanding the implications and potential impact of our research and practice. This editorial seeks to explore key conceptual components in ICT4D and their relationships, including dimensions of development, perspectives of development, conceptions of artefacts, and theory of change. A tentative conceptual schema is presented that connects these conceptual components. KEYWORDS

“…However, while unintended consequences are often seen as potentially negative (Hayes & Rajão, 2011), our case shows that the opposite is also possible. A summary of our contributions is presented in Fig-ure 5: the guiding framework is enriched by the data analysis of the particular case study and provides concrete clues to create the conditions for effective empowerment of local community through implementation of a technological artifact like a GIS.…”

“…While many forms of mapping systems have been available since the 1960s, Madon and Sahay (1997) emphasize that GIS technology has evolved since the early 1980s. Recent developments of this technology, particularly remote sensing-based GIS, have been widely employed to support the sustainable development of natural areas like tropical forests (Hayes & Rajão, 2011).The studies made about GIS and PGIS over the past 15 years were analyzed and organized in three main streams (Exhibit 1). In the first and second streams, we have included the vast IS literature in order to better understand the processes of implementing GIS artifacts and the consequences of their use (e.g., Barrett Sahay, & Walsham, 2001).…”

This paper seeks to understand the use and the consequences of Participatory Geographic Information System (PGIS) in a Mexican local community. A multilevel framework was applied, mainly influenced by two theoretical lenses -structurationist view and social shaping of technology -structured in three dimensions -context, process and content -according to contextualist logic. The results of our study have brought two main contributions. The first is the refinement of the theoretical framework in order to better investigate the implementation and use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) artifacts by local communities for social and environmental purposes.The second contribution is the extension of existing IS (Information Systems) literature on participatory practices through identification of important conditions for helping the mobilization of ICT as a tool for empowering local communities.KEYWORDS | Participatory Geographical Information Systems, local communities, structuration theory, social uses of technology, social consequences of technology. RESUMO Este artigo busca entender o uso e as consequências do Sistema de Informação Geográfica participativa (SIGP) em uma comunidade local mexicana. Uma estrutura de múltiplos níveis foi aplicada, influenciada principalmente por duas óticas teóricas -a visão estruturacionista e configuração social da tecnologia -estruturada em três dimensões -contexto, processo e conteúdo -de acordo com a lógica contextualista. Os resultados do estudo trouxeram duas contribuições principais. A primeira é o refinamento do quadro teórico a fim de investigar melhor a implantação e uso de Tecnologia de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) por comunidades para fins sociais e ambientais. A segunda contribuição é a expansão da literatura dos Sistemas de Informação (SI) existentes em relação às práticas participativas através da identificação de condições relevantes que podem auxiliar a mobilização das tecnologias de informação e comunicação como ferramentas de empoderamento de comunidades. PALAVRAS-CHAVE | Sistema de Informação Geográfica Participativa, comunidades locais, teoria estruturacionista, uso social da tecnologia, consequências sociais da tecnologia.

“…This is important to the article's theme, because competing logics can facilitate or impede the introduction and implementation of development policies (Hayes and Rajão 2011) as the meaning of development -and sustainable development -is contested (Banerjee 2003). An examination of competing logics allows observing dynamics of norm contestation between and within constituent communities of an organizational field (Swan et al 2010).…”

Global norms in domestic politics: environmental norm contestation in Cambodia's hydropower sector

This paper studies environmental norm contestation in Cambodia's hydropower sector, exemplified by the Kamchay Dam. In Cambodia we can observe different discourses in relation to hydropower. These stem directly from a local contest over the path of Cambodia's development, but use global norms as reference points: one emphasizes environmental protection, using EIA as point of reference; and one emphasizes the utility of CDM to attract large-scale investment into the energy sector while downplaying the need for environmental protection. While EIA and CDM are complementary, key actors present them as contradictory. This produces a normative fragmentation of the field of environmental protection. The article argues that the norm diffusion literature, by presenting norm conflicts as hierarchical local-global conflicts, has paid insufficient attention to the fact that local actors actively draw on global norms to justify domestic development policies. More emphasis on this phenomenon will lead to a better understanding of the role of global norms in domestic politics and will enhance our knowledge of how domestic development policies are contested.
