Abstract
This paper describes an analytical model intended to explain and/or predict the possible success or failure of public policies. Given\ that is more difficult to define the context of public actions, this\ model proposes that actors{\textquoteright} characterization involved in potential\ solutions is a key input to understand policies. Assessing actors{\textquoteright}\ veto power and support provides quantitative indicators such\ as feasibility and legitimacy for a given policy. The model was\ applied to analyze some digital government cases on Costa Rica\ and Chile. In this article state procurement projects in both\ countries are shown to illustrate the potential of the model.

Understanding what for, when and where Computer Science students at the University of Costa Rica use tablets and identifying gender differences in their use were our goals. An online survey, which included closed and open questions, was conducted. Results show that women use their tablet more for leisure and appreciate it for its usability. Non-working men use tablets also for leisure but value their functionality. Finally, working men are more interested in tablets as support to their work, and value usability more than non-working men.

The development of digital government should not be isolated from the political environment that affects it. Under an analytical approach to characterize strategic actors, this article demonstrates how objectives of government information technology projects could be at risk. The case of Costa Rican state procurement is studied. The experience developed in Chile is referred also to clarify the Costa Rican case study.

There is evidence that women tend to be underrepresented in computer science programs (CS) in many countries. Based on this fact, we analyzed the gender situation in Costa Rica finding that this situation also applies to the four public universities in the country. Furthermore, similar to the case of the U.S., the percentage of women graduating from CS programs from such universities is decreasing. Based on previous studies, we attempt to explain the gender gap in Costa Rican public universities, and present recommendations to reduce it.
