520			_aThe volume is a collection of essays interrogating the connections of digital governance and digital politics in South Asia. It challenges the dominant idea of digital governance as a purely technological, technocratic and 'apolitical' phenomenon. Based on a largely transdisciplinary approach, the contributions in the volume are both theoretically informed and empirically grounded as they cover select South Asian states. Against this backdrop, the volume highlights the growing intervention and outcome of new 'invasive' technologies in shaping the social and political processes. The contributors interrogate the critical intersections of governance and politics, with intense focus on strategies, policies, infrastructure, services, skills and capacity building, performance and measurement, and political communication. In offering a bottom-up view of the digital reality of South Asia along with its potentials, challenges and dilemmas, the volume seeks to provoke further deliberations and debates on this important theme.
