12-13 November 2015 the Centre arranged Focus Asia: E-Governance in Asia: Strengthening transparency and accountability?

From a critical perspective the symposium examined the state-of-the-art of e-governance in Asia. The aim was to synthesize knowledge about the challenges of creating transparency and accountability in a digital environment. The core discussion juxtaposed analyses of e-governance in different policy areas in India and China. The national-level studies were set in a comparative perspective spanning all of East and South-East Asia. The symposium thus provided an overview of the regional development of e-governance with particular focus on the pertinent issues of transparency and accountability.

The symposium unfolded as two days of lectures hosted by the Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies at Lund University, 12-13 November 2015.
