摘要
Hegemonic digital transformation for development (DX4D) initiatives, global digital development initiatives concerning the public sector, function as a contemporary 'anti-politics machine'. This is evidenced by the global extractive and surveillant dynamics surrounding these initiatives' core projects, such as digital public infrastructures. Despite being a global policy initiative focusing on bureaucratic reform and infrastructural development, hegemonic DX4D initiatives are usually presented as technocratic and depoliticised transformations, obscuring the value-extractive dynamics, network paradigms, infrastructural control mechanisms emerging around them, especially concerning digital sovereignty. The DX4D anti-politics machine refers to depoliticised and value-extractive global digital development policy initiatives extending the bureaucratic reach of state and non-state actors into public systems while obscuring global hegemonic actors' advancement of infrastructural ideologies and use of coercive mechanisms to supplant the strategic interests of powerful global actors over the public value. The 'DX4D anti-politics machine' concept examines how infrastructural ideologies are operationalised through global development and humanitarian initiatives with implications for governments, governance, and well-being. The 'DX4D anti-politics machine' is empirically examined through a qualitative case study of several large-scale foundational DX4D projects in Uganda. The DX4D anti-politics machine's coercive dynamics and implications for many Global South countries are examined, and its conceptual contribution is discussed.

Las iniciativas hegem & oacute;nicas de transformaci & oacute;n digital para el desarrollo (DX4D), iniciativas globales de desarrollo digital relacionadas con el sector p & uacute;blico, funcionan como una "m & aacute;quina antipol & iacute;tica" contempor & aacute;nea. Esto se evidencia en la din & aacute;mica global extractiva y de vigilancia que rodea los proyectos centrales de estas iniciativas, como las infraestructuras p & uacute;blicas digitales. A pesar de ser una iniciativa pol & iacute;tica global centrada en la reforma burocr & aacute;tica y el desarrollo de infraestructuras, las iniciativas hegem & oacute;nicas DX4D suelen presentarse como transformaciones tecnocr & aacute;ticas y despolitizadas, ocultando las din & aacute;micas extractivas de valor, los paradigmas de red y los mecanismos de control de infraestructuras que surgen a su alrededor, especialmente en lo que respecta a la soberan & iacute;a digital. La m & aacute;quina antipol & iacute;tica DX4D se refiere a iniciativas de pol & iacute;ticas de desarrollo digital globales despolitizadas y extractivas de valor que extienden el alcance burocr & aacute;tico de los actores estatales y no estatales a los sistemas p & uacute;blicos, al tiempo que ocultan el avance de las ideolog & iacute;as infraestructurales y el uso de mecanismos coercitivos por parte de los actores hegem & oacute;nicos globales para suplantar los intereses estrat & eacute;gicos de actores globales poderosos por sobre el valor p & uacute;blico. El concepto de "m & aacute;quina antipol & iacute;tica DX4D" examina c & oacute;mo las ideolog & iacute;as infraestructurales se operacionalizan a trav & eacute;s de iniciativas humanitarias y de desarrollo global con implicaciones para los gobiernos, la gobernanza y el bienestar. La "m & aacute;quina antipol & iacute;tica DX4D" se examina emp & iacute;ricamente a trav & eacute;s de un estudio de caso cualitativo de varios proyectos DX4D fundacionales a gran escala en Uganda. Se examinan la din & aacute;mica coercitiva de la m & aacute;quina antipol & iacute;tica DX4D y sus implicaciones para muchos pa & iacute;ses del Sur Global, y se discute su contribuci & oacute;n conceptual.
