Kshemenetskaya M.N. “Electronic participation” as an element of the e-government concept

Abstract:   The author of the article thoroughly examines the electronic participation within the framework of realization of the e-government concept as a new paradigm of the government administration. Electronic participation is viewed through the prism of attained by people large quantity of digital skills, access to the relevant government information, participation in the government decision-making and online procedures of participation in the public life. The article, based on the example of the European Union, determines the main obstacles on the way of increasing the e-participation, starting with the wrong priorities in the development on the information-communicative technologies, insufficient information openness, and ending with the sociocultural and organizational barriers. For the purpose of overcoming these obstacles, the author demonstrates a new model of participation, which is developed based on the experience of e-participation in the EU (dynamic model of e-participation), as well as analyzes the peculiarities of motivation of the electronic participation. Scientific novelty consists in the systemic examination of the new model of e-participation (A Domain Model for e-Participation) and its elements, such as interested parties, process of participation and instruments of e-participation, which affect the successful implementation and improvement of the e-participation.
