“Digitalisation provides once-in-a-generation opportunities but also poses risks to societies around the globe. This thoughtful collection of contributions is particularly helpful in understanding how to navigate the risks and leverage the opportunities responsibly.” Prof. Willem Fourie, School for Data Science and Computational Thinking, Stellenbosch University, South Africa“By bringing together the phenomena of digitalisation and sustainable development to examine their dynamic interfaces, with governance positioned as a mediating variable, this volume initiates a much-needed conversation. Its unique distinction is the location of digitalisation – a phenomenon that is intuitively understood as a technical one – at the heart of the politics and economics of sustainable development and global governance. Its core premise that sustainable development requires a deep engagement with the phenomenon of digitalisation provides for a sound foundation. That the contributors to this volume represent multiple disciplines and speak from regionally diverse perspectives adds to the richness of the discussion. This is indeed a timely and valuable resource addition to the literature on digitalisation, sustainable development and global governance.”Prof. Archna Negi, School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India“This volume makes an original contribution by placing governance at the centre of the digitalisation-sustainability debate. Bringing together scholars from Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia, it offers a rare multiplicity of disciplinary and regional perspectives. A landmark reference for anyone interested in understanding how digital transformation unfolds across diverse institutional and development contexts.” Dr. Aakansha Natani, Human Sciences Research Centre, International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad, India“Reiners and Lucatello have produced an important and timely contribution to the global debate on digitalisation and sustainability. This edited volume offers a rich comparative perspective, showing that digital transformation is not inherently sustainable, but must be shaped through thoughtful governance and international cooperation for the benefit of all.” Blas L. Pérez Henríquez, Founding Director of The California–Global Energy, Water & Infrastructure Innovation Initiative Stanford University, USA
