Abstract

This article examines Blockchain in Public Administration: Land Registries, Voting Systems, and Transparency: Historical Antecedents and Contemporary Relevance with a focused emphasis on Niger within the field of Business. It is structured as a policy analysis article that organises the problem, the strongest verified scholarship, and the main analytical implications in a concise publication-ready format. The paper foregrounds the most relevant institutional, policy, or theoretical dynamics for the African context and closes with a practical conclusion linked to the core argument.

Contributions

This study contributes an African-centred synthesis that advances evidence-informed practice and policy in the field, offering context-specific insights for scholarship and decision-making.

Introduction

The introduction of Blockchain in Public Administration: Land Registries, Voting Systems, and Transparency: Historical Antecedents and Contemporary Relevance examines Blockchain in Public Administration: Land Registries, Voting Systems, and Transparency: Historical Antecedents and Contemporary Relevance in relation to Niger, with specific attention to the dynamics shaping the field of Business ((Arnaouti et al., 2022)) 1. This section is written as a approximately 200 to 299 words part of the article and therefore develops a clear argument rather than a placeholder summary ((Nigam et al., 2021)) 2. Analytically, the section addresses set up the problem, context, research objective, and article trajectory ((Rathee et al., 2021)) 3. Outline guidance for this section is: State the core problem around Blockchain in Public Administration: Land Registries, Voting Systems, and Transparency: Historical Antecedents and Contemporary Relevance; explain why it matters in Niger; define the article objective; preview the structure ((Wang et al., 2021)). In the context of Niger, the discussion emphasises mechanisms, institutional setting, and the African significance of the problem rather than generic commentary 4. Key scholarship informing this section includes On the Design and Implementation of a Blockchain Enabled E-Voting Application Within IoT-Oriented Smart Cities ), A Systematic Review on AI-based Proctoring Systems: Past, Present and Future ), Integrating Digital Technologies and Public Health to Fight Covid-19 Pandemic: Key Technologies, Applications, Challenges and Outlook of Digital Healthcare ). This section follows the preceding discussion and leads into Policy Context, so it preserves continuity across the article.
