The traditional directives could paradoxically be effective in advancing open data even in a less collaborative political culture. The unitary administrative context is conducive for the development of the ICT-driven public sector initiatives as a single platform. The existence of independent developers is crucial in promoting various open data-driven projects and sharing related expertise. The open data movement creates a favorable atmosphere for the participation of the non-governmental sector in the sphere.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This case study is primarily focused on the analysis of the open data movement at the national level of government, taking into account the unitary structure of the public administration system existing in Kazakhstan, which apparently has a crucial fundamental effect on the realization of any e-government system in this country. In this respect, the main limitation of the research is that the possible existence of various open data-driven projects at the local levels that hypothetically may have a different set of political and socioeconomic drivers and challenges was excluded from the final equation, which provides a new window for the future research in the area.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The results of the research could be used by e-government practitioners and policymakers in evaluating and improving the operation of the open data-driven projects in many developing countries.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Social implications<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The author of the paper tried to develop a universal framework of the case study research that could be used in investigating the open data phenomenon not only in Kazakhstan but also in the context of other developing and transitional countries, especially in analyzing the apparitional emergence of the unique networking activities among the key stakeholders of the open data movement, i.e. policymakers, NGOs, businesses, developers, mass media and citizens. In addition, the results of the analysis could be used in testing the political and socioeconomic implications of the highly centralized e-government approach in the realization of the open data concept in a number of other typical unitary states.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>In scientific works, the open data phenomenon is usually analyzed in the context of the most developed and democratic countries of the world with a vast majority of case studies being focused only on North America and Europe, forgetting that it is a global trend. In contrast to the traditional trends in the academic literature, the author of the paper studies the realization of the concept in an unusual context, resorting to the case study of a typical emerging and post-totalitarian nation such as Kazakhstan and focusing on the analysis of the key drivers and challenges in the diffusion of the open data concept in an attempt to answer the ultimate question: whether it is really harnessed by the members of civil society to promote civic engagement and e-participation.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/itp-10-2015-0243","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,4,20]],"date-time":"2017-04-20T07:22:55Z","timestamp":1492672975000},"page":"301-323","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Open data in Kazakhstan: incentives, implementation and challenges"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Maxat","family":"Kassen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"key2020120706444757900_ref001","first-page":"85","article-title":"The global explosion of freedom of information laws","volume":"58","year":"2006","journal-title":"Administrative Law Review"},{"key":"key2020120706444757900_ref002","first-page":"12","article-title":"Public sector reform in the Republic of Kazakhstan","volume":"3","year":"2010","journal-title":"Central Asia Business Journal"},{"issue":"2","key":"key2020120706444757900_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"142","DOI":"10.1016\/j.giq.2011.09.008","article-title":"Understanding the rise of e-participation in non-democracies: domestic and international factors","volume":"29","year":"2012","journal-title":"Government Information Quarterly"},{"key":"key2020120706444757900_ref004","article-title":"Evaluating open data innovation: a measurement model for digital innovation contests","year":"2015"},{"key":"key2020120706444757900_ref005","unstructured":"Banisar, D.
