“…In our case, the existence of a high number of political parties represented in the city council plenary does not seem to influence the political agenda of the governing party regarding the SDGs or the disclosure of information on the city council's contribution to the 2030 Agenda. This result coincides with those obtained by Guillamón and others (2011), García‐Sánchez and others (2013), Tejedo‐Romero and Araujo (2020), and Alcaide Muñoz and others (2022), for Spanish municipalities, and by Gaia and Jones (2020), for English local councils, who also found no evidence of a significant effect of greater political fragmentation on local government transparency. However, our result differs from the results of Navarro and others (2010), who observed that a greater political fragmentation leads governing parties to disclose more information on sustainability in the Spanish local context, and Tavares and da Cruz (2020), who found that higher levels of competition, measured as the margin of victory, increased the information transparency in Portuguese municipalities, although minority executives did not affect transparency.…”

“…Political ideology (MIDEO) is a dummy variable that takes the value of 1 if the governing party is left oriented (i.e., communist, socialist, social democratic, and other left‐wing political parties), and 0 if the governing party is right oriented (i.e., conservative, centrist, Christian democratic, and other right‐wing political parties). As for political fragmentation (HHI), following previous studies (Alcaide Muñoz et al, 2022; Guillamón et al, 2011; Navarro et al, 2010), the Herfindahl‐Hirschman Index is used.…”

This article examines the influence of the political ideology of the governing party on the commitment of the city council to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the disclosure of information in this regard. The effect of the level of political fragmentation in the city council is also analyzed. The results obtained through the content analysis of the information related to the 2030 Agenda disclosed on the websites of 102 municipalities during the period 2016–2021 reveal a significant influence of the ideological orientation of the ruling party, with a higher level of disclosure of SDG information in those municipalities governed by left‐wing parties. Furthermore, political fragmentation limits the ability of left‐wing governments to promote the SDGs as part of their political agenda. The findings reinforce the discussion on the influence of government ideology on public policy and enhance the understanding of the determinants of the contribution of public entities to sustainable development.Related ArticlesBenveniste, Joseph, and Shlomo Mizrahi. 2023. “Accountability, Governance, and Institutional Change in Intergovernmental Relations: A Theoretical Framework.” Politics & Policy 51(2): 242–55. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12520.Ruiz‐Campillo, Xira. 2022. “The Drive to Sustainability: A Way in which Local Initiatives Diffuse Internationally.” Politics & Policy 50(5): 967–91. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12496.Villanueva Ulfgard, Rebecka. 2019. “Mexico's Struggle with Development between Global Compromises and National Development Plans.” Politics & Policy 47(1): 50–78. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12288.

PurposeThis study aimed to develop a taxonomy of research areas in open government data (OGD) through a bibliometric mapping tool and a qualitative analysis software.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, the authors extracted metadata of 442 documents from a bibliographic database. The authors used a bibliometric mapping tool for familiarization with the literature. After that, the authors used qualitative analysis software to develop taxonomy.FindingsThis paper developed taxonomy of OGD with three research areas: implementation and management, architecture, users and utilization. These research areas are further analyzed into seven topics and twenty-eight subtopics. The present study extends Charalabidis et al. (2016) taxonomy by adding two research topics, namely the adoption factors and barriers of OGD implementations and OGD ecosystems. Also, the authors include artificial intelligence in the taxonomy as an emerging research interest in the literature. The authors suggest four directions for future research: indigenous knowledge in open data, open data at local governments, development of OGD-specific theories and user studies in certain research themes.Practical implicationsEarly career researchers and doctoral students can use the taxonomy to familiarize themselves with the literature. Also, established researchers can use the proposed taxonomy to inform future research. Taxonomy-building procedures in this study are applicable to other fields.Originality/valueThis study developed a novel taxonomy of research areas in OGD. Taxonomy building is significant because there is insufficient taxonomy of research areas in this discipline. Also, conceptual knowledge through taxonomy creation is a basis for theorizing and theory-building for future studies.

Value co‐creation (VCC) and value co‐destruction (VCD) via open government data (OGD): Empirical case of Tanzania

Having emphasized upon the potential benefits of Open Government Data (OGD) initiatives via value derivation and innovation pursuits of the stakeholders, it falls in place to complement this line of OGD research in the specific case of Tanzania, a developing country, to support the inferences. Specifically, it is important to understand the manner in which OGD VCC‐one of the hinges of OGD initiatives‐ and OGD VCD‐a possible fall out of OGD initiatives‐happens to pass. Thus, a content analysis of the interviews of 15 public officials and managers associated directly with the management and operationationalization of OGD initiatives is being done to arrive at the conclusions. Thus, the interviewees aver that OGD Value Co‐creation (VCC) may be facilitated on top‐priority bases by consistent marketing efforts by the government as also the partnerships with the key stakeholders of the OGD ecosystem, and, among the prominent Value Co‐Destruction (VCD) factors may be counted the issues linked with data privacy and resource restriction. Literature on OGD VCC is at a nascent stage and the one on OGD VCD is evolving. As an atypical empirical validation case vis‐a‐vis the emerging OGD VCC‐VCD research, the study is an additional contribution to the extant literature with specific reference to the developing country's experiences.
