> I understand your concern. My fellowship supervisor here at the National Center for Digital Government works with the notion of "digitally mediated institutional development." (reference attached bellow). She is a long-standing researcher who surveys the role of organizational and institutional variables in the enactment of technology for digital governance. As she likes to point out, "after twenty years of digital governance", there is a lot of evidence of path-dependency following decisions, long-term trends in agency action, as well as institutional stability. Whenever you have legacy, agency favoring the status quo and institutional constraints for reforms/revolutions, it seems that disjunctions might only be the exception. I'm working to connect the dots between those theoretical notions and the field of Internet governance in my dissertation.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot for the reference to this paper. I would be more than interested to know more about the development of your research. </p>
<p>Best, </p>
