Transformation of E-Government and E-Governance in the Digital Economic
Abstract
The article deals with the development issues of e-government and e-governance in Russia and elsewhere. In modern society the social relationships appeared to be as evolving under the notable impact of information and communication technologies. The functioning of the state also changes in a number of aspects, with all three branches of governance affected by transformations. Executive authorities are subject to the most significant changes. With the emergence of e-government in countries with different political and legal traditions, the procedure for the provision of public and municipal services is changing and executive authorities become more transparent. The ongoing processes have to be theoretically studied including with the purpose of developing a comprehensive approach to regulation of e-government. In this regard, it is necessary to take into account and analyze the international experience of building e-government as well as the general and specific features of the applicable law. The focus of the study is e-governance and executive branch in the context of information society — in particular, the legal provisions applicable to e-government as a new state of executive authorities in Russia and internationally. It has been found in the course of the research that the development of e-government is followed by transformation of the system of executive authorities, with supra- and interagency bodies emerging to coordinate the action of other executive bodies for managing the affairs of information society, develop the concerted policies and also supervise other executive bodies amid the centralization of e-government powers and development of e-government.
