“…Similar to those studies, ours show that the crucial factor facilitating collaboration was the commitment of an NGO to transparency as its primary value, rather than profit as the main driving force. Por Mi Barrio shows a trajectory that is rooted in decades of technological feats addressing concerns on digital sovereignty (Sabiguero et al, 2016) and which could only be materialised when there was trust and a vision of opportunity that made these efforts coalesce into the IT artefact.…”

Digital technologies have a recognised potential to build more efficient, credible, and innovative public institutions in Latin America. Despite progress, digital transformation in Latin American governments remains limited. In this work, we explore a peculiar yet largely understudied opportunity in the region: pursuing digital government transformation as a collaborative process between the government and civil society organisations. To do so, we draw from information systems research on digital government and platforms for development, complemented with governance theory from political science and conduct an interpretive in‐depth case study of an urban reporting platform in Montevideo called ‘Por Mi Barrio’. The study reveals three mutually reinforced orders of governance in the trajectory of the project and explain how the collaboration unfolded over time: (i) a technical decision to use open platform architectures; (ii) the negotiation of formal and informal rules to make the project thrive and (iii) a shared, long‐term ideology around the value of open technologies and technical sovereignty grounded in years of political history. Using a contextual explanation approach, our study helps to improve our understanding on the governance of collaborative digital government platforms in Latin America, with specific contributions to practice.

“…En este contexto, los realistas afirman que asistimos a un "retroceso de la soberanía", pues el Estado soberano tradicionalmente controla la fuerza, domina la tecnología y la economía y reconoce solo instituciones iguales, es decir a otros Estados. En la actualidad esto es parcialmente cierto, ya que muchas de las actividades relacionadas con la tecnología entre otras, no solo trascienden al Estado sino que lo someten a sus reglas (Cassese, 2003). Este fenómeno es una de las consecuencias más evidentes del rol destacado que han adquirido los nuevos actores transnacionales.…”

“…Asimismo como consecuencia de la globalización en general, se asiste a una "crisis del Estado" que conlleva internamente a la pérdida de unidad del mayor poder público, y en el plano externo al menoscabo de la soberanía (Cassese, 2003). Esta pérdida de soberanía opera en todas las esferas de la actividad del Estado, por ejemplo en el ámbito de la economía se manifiesta mediante la desterritorialización de las actividades económicas (Cassese, 2003). Esto se ha acentuado aún más con la evolución de Internet en las últimas décadas.…”
