Diplôme Master Comparative Study in the Theoretical Perspective of Policy Instruments Classification: Effects of Different Kinds of ICT Development Efforts based on ITU WSIS Stocktaking Cases eng 2025-08-20 author Zhu Yijia 423782 director Chen Yali 673311 Service enseignement, recherche, administratif et technique (SdS) (SCSPS) Vladimir Stankovic <p>This study investigates the differential impacts of various forms of public efforts—economic, capacity-building, and informational—on the development of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) through the lens of the International Telecommunication Union’s (ITU) World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). Drawing on the theoretical framework of policy instrument classification, the research categorizes WSIS projects into three types: economic, capacity, and informational. It examines how these categories diverge in terms of implementation scope, resource requirements, impact range, and mobilization capacity. The findings indicate that while economic projects tend to have broader implementation scopes and higher resource demands, capacity-building projects exhibit long-term sustainability and informational projects are effective in raising public awareness and disseminating knowledge. This study not only enriches the empirical research on WSIS and ICT development but also offers insights for policymakers on the strategic use of policy instruments to advance ICT initiatives.</p> World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Policy Instruments Economic Development Capacity Building Information Dissemination Dewey 354.3 MIHDS Master in Innovation, Human Development and Sustainability 199 Institut de la gouvernance de l'environnement et du développement territorial TF false 84106ebb-578c-439a-ba6f-a88daf28e669 Master thesis Private Internship_report-Zhu_Yijia-ihds.pdf 1458539 application/pdf 31b7f25bb2c94f3fd10c60fb6d0d8c6d1ee27366bf63b28e7e17da69af95a982 closedAccess Faculté des sciences de la société / Institut de la gouvernance de l'environnement et du développement territorial
