Article analysis:
The article announces a call for papers for a special issue on "Blockchain and Public Governance" to be published in the International Journal of Public Sector Management. The article highlights the potential of blockchain technology to revolutionize public governance by offering new possibilities for transparency, accountability, and trust. However, the actual implementation of blockchain in the public sector remains limited.
The article seeks to explore the ways in which blockchain technology is being used or could be used in public governance, including applications in voting systems, supply chain management, public record-keeping, and citizen engagement. The special issue will focus on understanding the implications of this technology on public governance/management, trust and public value systems, and the formation of citizen-centric and decentralized systems in public governance.
The article invites papers that explore the motivation, impeding and facilitating factors, trade-off conditions, leadership competencies and skills in adopting and implementing blockchain solutions in public governance. It also encourages researchers to take up organizational change as an issue since blockchain implementation is subject to it.
