Demand-side effects on institutionalizing open government policies : evidence from the philippine OGD and FOI initiatives = 오픈 데이터 정책과 수요자 측면의 영향 : 필리핀 OGD와 FOI 사례를 중심으로

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Abstract: Most of the work in Open Governance research has taken the data-driven, top-down approach – where governments initiate the open data programs and then attempt to engage citizens to interact with government data. This leaves an obvious gap in literature regarding open government initiatives in nations where there is an involved demand-side initiative. Moreover, existing literature mostly focus on developed countries’ initiatives and the barriers they encounter in fulfilling their open government goals. However, investigating the development of OGD in developing countries are also
as important because the expected benefits of opening government data— transparency, public participation, and collaboration are very much needed countries such as the Philippines. Using the concept of institutional entrepreneurship, this study shows that a two-way open governance model will be a more effective approach in developing a truly open government. However, this ideal model requires a well-stimulated demand-side within the nation. This social stimulation will come from data scientists, data activists, academics, and the private sector, with the support of international organizations. This reinforces the role of demand-side stakeholders as active participants in promoting open government data, from the beginning of the process, instead of just mere spectators waiting for the government to fully develop an effective OGD infrastructure.
