Conflicting Ecosystems Framework: Reconciling Top-Down Policy vs. Bottom-Up Inclusion

Li & Kostka show China’s elderly-focused apps have low awareness, while Singh et al. highlight socio-cultural barriers in gender inclusion. This idea proposes a "conflicting ecosystems" framework to diagnose when top-down policies (e.g., digital ID systems) clash with local practices (e.g., community-based banking). Using mixed methods, we’d map friction points—e.g., legal restrictions for formerly incarcerated vs. informal digital economies. Innovation: Synthesizes public policy with street-level bureaucracy to design adaptive governance. Could inform "policy sandboxes" for iterative co-design.
