The Handbook of Blockchain in Public Governance has just been published by Edward Elgar. Izzat-Begum B. Rajan is one of its contributors.
The volume brings together fifty-nine experts and practitioners from across the world around one question: how can blockchain be managed, used, regulated and governed in the public sector? Its value lies in its stance: a shift away from hype and toward evidence, design choices and institutional realities.
Our consultant co-authored Chapter 11, “Redefining education: a blockchain perspective”, with Chiara Ventura, Nicole Giani, Magdalena Hristova, Katarina Krüger, Joyce O’Connor and Mar Meneses.
The twenty-seven chapters address, among other things, when blockchain does and does not create public value, its implications for administration and regulation, empirical cases ranging from digital identity to urban governance, and the legal issues raised by crypto-assets, interoperability and compliance.
