Through a diverse collection of empirical case studies, conceptual frameworks and regionally grounded insights, the book inter rogates dominant techno-solutionist narratives and instead proposes a justice-oriented approach to digital innovation. It examines themes including digital infrastructure, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven public services, green entrepreneurship, data governance and platform coopera tivism, all within the sociopolitical and environmental contexts of the Global South. This book illuminate how communities are not passive recipients of technological change but active agents reimagining digital futures to serve local needs, cultural values and sustainability imperatives. It is essential reading for scholars, practitioners alike.
