Rule of Law on the Go: New Developments of Mobile Governance

This paper offers an overview of the emerging domain of mobile governance as an offspring of the broader landscape of e-governance. mobile governance initiatives have been deployed everywhere in parallel to the development of crowdsourced, open source software applications that facilitate the collection, aggregation, and dissemination of both information and data coming from different sources: citizens, organizations, public bodies, etc. ultimately, mobile governance can be seen as a tool to promote the rule of law from a decentralized, distributed, and bottom-up perspective.
