Digital Governance in the Internet of Things Context. Evidence from the EU, MENA and BRICS:

Digital governance evolved considerably in the last decades, especially in the context of the 6G generation. Information Technology (IT) transformed humanity and the general paradigms of human beings. More, the Internet of Things (IoT) reframes the socio-economic environment. The paper analyses the specific context of digital governance from countries relevant to the mountain area belonging to the EU, MENA, and BRICS. The results revealed that the proposed hypothesis and indicators were validated. Digital governance offers the right way for leaders to focus on other responsibilities, rather than a decision-making network. The research proposes five new public and private governance indicators, especially for the IT dimension. The EU, MENA, and BRICS countries could follow standard IT governance models. Public and private governance becomes the strongest defense system against socioeconomic chaos and failure. JEL codes: D73, G34, L86
