Taiwan's digital divide during the Covid‐19 pandemic and its implications for e‐public services
With the outbreak of COVID‐19, many elderly people have experienced unfavorable difficulties accompanying e‐public services during the epidemic. This study takes Village (Li) A in Xinyi District, Taipei City, as a case study, using in‐depth interviews to understand the experiences of e‐public services usage among residents aged 60 years and above, as well as local chief of village (Li Chang) and council members. In conclusion, street‐level bureau…
Bridging the Divide
Environmental policies are essential for promoting sustainability, yet their implementation often falls short due to governance complexities, institutional barriers, and socioeconomic disparities. Despite international agreements and evolving policy frameworks, the gap between policy design and execution remains a persistent challenge. Bureaucratic fragmentation, conflicting stakeholder interests, and limited technological capacity hinder effecti…
Exploring the motivations behind environmental volunteering and the development of environmental citizenship in Taiwan
The act of volunteering for environmental causes is a multifaceted phenomenon that offers dual benefits: it not only fosters individual health and well-being but also instills and reinforces pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors, essential for the conservation and protection of our planet. The trend of civic participation in such volunteer activities has seen a notable upsurge in Taiwan, signaling a positive shift towards environmental consci…

This commentary presents a case study of whistle gathering (WG), which helps to eliminate the cooperative dilemma at the microlevel. As an innovative mechanism whereby organizational structures and communication systems are streamlined, WG occurs when departments/agencies convene and coordinate to …
E‐government and the hurdle of the “digital divide”? Rethinking the responses of the underprivileged in Covid‐19 Hong Kong
The digital divide and insufficient social capital of aging, undereducated, and low‐income nonnetizens are usually explained by the underpopularization of e‐government. This review article moves beyond the mainstream concern over resources and technicalities and seeks to explore the reasons for reluctance, from digital vulnerabilities to e‐service. We examine the varying responses to the three e‐services launched by the Hong Kong government durin…
A whole-of-nation approach to Covid-19
This article analyzes Taiwan’s National Epidemic Prevention Team, a collective synergy between government and society in fighting COVID-19. We draw on a model of collaborative governance to dissect the collaboration between National Epidemic Prevention Team members; that is, central government, local governments, private enterprises and citizens. We argue that the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak, democratic deepening and co…
Fighting Covid-19 in Hong Kong
Electronic Waste Governance under “One Country, Two Systems”
China is one of the largest e-waste dumping sites in the world, and Hong Kong, a semi-autonomous territory in China, is also affected by illegal e-waste disposal and transfer. While the Chinese government implemented a waste import ban in January 2018, Hong Kong has not enforced Chinese policies under the "One Country, Two Systems" framework. Drawing on a policy network approach, this paper provides an explanatory framework for e-waste governance…
Environmental policy change in two transitional societies

This essay compares the dynamics between two cities in the greater China region in reaching a consensus on changing solid waste management policy following anti-incinerator protests in Taipei, Taiwan, and Guangzhou, mainland China by exploring several related questions: How…
