Emerging Technologies and Governance

The journal of Emerging Technologies and Governance is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed quarterly journal, established in 2026, with the goal of advancing scholarly literature on governance in the era of digital transformation. This journal provides a credible platform for the in-depth exploration of the social, legal, policy, and ethical implications of emerging technologies.

Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, distributed digital infrastructures, advanced cryptography, and quantum computing have the potential to significantly enhance public services, strengthen government decision-making, improve transparency, and build public trust. However, they also present complex challenges, including algorithmic bias, privacy concerns, opacity in automated decision-making, accountability, and regulatory hurdles.

With an interdisciplinary approach rooted in the tradition of Public Governance and Emerging Technologies, the journal aims to address fundamental questions about “governing with technology” and “the governance of technology.” It invites analytical, empirical, and conceptual contributions that help to develop sustainable governance models in the digital age.

The journal welcomes contributions that provide valuable insights into the role of technology in governance, as well as the impact of governance models on technology policy and regulation. Articles may cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to digital governance, data privacy, algorithmic regulation, and the implications of emerging technologies for public trust and government accountability.

We encourage submissions that explore the most pressing issues at the intersection of technology and governance, providing innovative solutions to contemporary challenges in the digital transformation of governance.
