Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between market-economic decentralization and governance within the Hargeisa Local Government in Somaliland. Market-economic decentralization, influenced by neoliberal principles, involves transferring decision-making authority to local levels to stimulate private sector engagement and economic efficiency. Despite comprehensive decentralization reforms initiated in 2001, Hargeisa continues to confront significant governance challenges, including institutional weaknesses, fiscal mismanagement, and corruption. Employing a mixed-methods approach, this research integrates quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews with 269 local officials to assess the impact of decentralization on key governance indicators: accountability, transparency, and e-governance. The results demonstrate strong positive correlations between market-economic decentralization and improved governance outcomes (r = 0.670–0.678, p < 0.01). Regression analysis further indicates that decentralization accounts for 60% of the variance in governance performance (β = 0.778, p < 0.001), with fiscal autonomy, public-private partnerships (PPPs), and foreign direct investment (FDI) identified as critical factors. Nevertheless, persistent obstacles such as heavy fiscal dependence (80% on central transfers), gender imbalances (60.2% male workforce), elite capture, and divergent public perceptions on privatization curtail the full potential of decentralization. These findings resonate with the Soufflé Theory, emphasizing the need for balanced political, fiscal, and administrative integration, and the Principal-Agent Theory, which highlights accountability gaps. The study concludes that while decentralization enhances governance, its efficacy is moderated by contextual and institutional factors. It advocates for complementary strategies, including capacity building, gender-inclusive policies, transparent investment frameworks, and digital governance, to maximize decentralization benefits in fragile states like Somaliland.

Abstract

This study examines the adoption of digital platforms in e-government and their implications for citizen access, transparency, and administrative efficiency. Using a systematic literature review approach, the study analyzes 92 peer-reviewed articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science, applying a PRISMA-based selection process and thematic analysis. The findings identify three main dimensions influencing digital platform adoption: drivers, barriers, and outcomes. Key drivers include citizen expectations, organizational efficiency, technological advancements, and regulatory frameworks, while major barriers consist of digital divide, institutional constraints, fragmented regulations, and trust issues. The results demonstrate that digital platforms improve service access, enhance transparency, and increase efficiency; however, these benefits are uneven and often constrained by structural and institutional limitations. The study further reveals the presence of an “access paradox,” “opaque transparency,” and “islands of automation,” indicating gaps between technological potential and practical implementation. A conceptual framework is proposed to illustrate the dynamic interaction between drivers, barriers, and outcomes. This study contributes to the literature by providing a multi-level analytical perspective and offers insights for policymakers to design more inclusive, integrated, and context-sensitive digital governance strategies.
