公共服务的形式和性质正在发生范式变化。在多个国家和不同行业中已经观察到区块链技术的出现和采用以提供公共价值。在将在 2030 年达到顶峰的充满挑战的可持续发展行动十年中，由区块链驱动的创新场景为政府、公民和企业提供了推进各种形式的数字政府的机会。本研究采用定性比较分析（QCA）方法来评估区块链项目的进展。研究问题旨在阐明促进或阻碍数字政府区块链应用进展的国家特定条件和特定行业。此外，它还确定了区块链如何通过政府方法为实现可持续发展目标 (SDG) 做出贡献。使用 QCA 下的模糊和 crip 集，这些案例是由欧洲不同政府实体领导的基于区块链的计划；区块链项目的进展是调查的结果；用于分析的条件与数字政府国家特定要素（电子参与、在线服务提供、人力资本和电信基础设施）和部门特定要素（属于金融、医疗保健和技术行业）有关。通过分析基于一致性、覆盖率和其他拟合参数的必要性和充分性，研究结果显示了关联因果关系，导致区块链采用的高水平和低水平进展有几种不同的路径。在线服务提供被认为是没有结果的必要条件。此外，属于金融行业是所有解决方案条款的一部分，因为没有结果。论文的主要贡献在于系统分析了区块链技术、数字政府和可持续发展的支柱，确定了 QCA 条件与可持续发展目标之间的联系。
The shape and nature of public services are under paradigmatic changes. The emergence and adoption of blockchain technology for provision of public value has been observed in several countries and among diverse industries. Under the challenging decade of action for Sustainable Development that will culminate in 2030, the innovative scenario powered by blockchain provides an opportunity for governments, citizens, and businesses to advance digital government in all its forms.This research applies the Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) methodology to assess the progress of blockchain projects. The research questions aim to elucidate the country-specific conditions and the specific industries that facilitate or hinder the progress of blockchain applications for digital government. Furthermore, it identifies how blockchain can contribute to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through a governmental approach.Using fuzzy and crip sets under QCA, the cases are the blockchain-based initiatives led by different governmental entities across Europe; the progress of blockchain projects is the investigated outcome; and the conditions used for the analysis are related to digital government country-specific elements (e-participation, online service provision, human capital, and telecommunications infrastructure) and sector specific elements (belonging to the financial, healthcare and technology industries). Through analysis of necessity and sufficiency anchored on consistency, coverage, and other parameters of fit, the findings show conjunctural causation, leading to several different paths both for high and low levels of progress in blockchain adoption. Online service provision was found to be a necessary condition for the absence of the outcome. In addition, belonging to the financial industry was part of all the solution terms for the absence of the outcome.The major contributions of the thesis rely on the systematic analysis of the pillars of blockchain technology, digital governments, and sustainable development, identifying the links between QCA conditions and the SDGs.
