- Title
THE STORY OF e-ESTONIA A DISCOURSE-THEORETICAL APPROACH.
- Authors
Mäe, Rene
- Abstract
This paper traces the emergence of various digital technology-driven policy ideas in Estonia during the last two decades. The article is specifically concerned with the idea of e-Estonia, a signifier that is widely used as shorthand to denote Estonia's success in developing digital solutions in government, public management, business, education, etc. The paper analyzes the idea of e-Estonia to disclose, contextualize, and critically explain the particular discursive practices that constitute the e-Estonia discourse. It offers a discourse-theoretical reading of e-Estonia in terms of different types of discursive 'logics'. Finally, the paper argues for the importance of recognizing what is at stake in the act of naming e-Estonia.
