Netocratic vector of formation of public administration in the information society

Abstract

The modern information society is characterized by a dynamic movement of transformations caused by the constant acceleration of processes that affect not only the social spheres of human existence, but also the moral and value understanding of what is happening around a person.Today dictates a fast pace of development, as a result of which society has practically no time left for full adaptation to constant changes and for a sense of stability.Therefore, the paradigm of the existence of society in general is changing -a radical transformation is taking place in all spheres of society, in socio-political and socio-economic relations, in power, in communications between power and society, etc.Taking into account the heterogeneity of society and the pace of civilizational development, the form of governance and the state system, in which society has become globalized in social, political, economic, cultural, etc. spheres, we can state that in modern society it is not just the replacement of the «old» with the «new», but a kind of accumulation that forms a high level of multiplicity, which complicates all processes of human existence.Today, it is very important for everyone, especially the authorities, to understand that modern globalization conditions can lead to the segregation of society and the formation of a new architecture of the world order.Therefore, it is important to strive to become a subject and not an object of these processes.This is facilitated by the pervasiveness of the latest information and communication technologies, networks, means and methods of communication.Today, the means of mass communication, which thanks to modern technologies have practically "gained power" over people, are intensively displacing the mass media.Representatives of the information society spend more and more time on the «spaces of the Internet».Of course, such changes do not occur separately from social, political, economic, humanitarian or other transformations, because the globalization of society expands the opportunities for an individual person as well.The specified changes indicate the transition of society to another civilizational stage of development, the genesis of a new type of society, which today is named differently: post-industrial, informational, digital, Internet society, infocratic, mediacratic, netocratic.Today, society's life is increasingly affected by the latest information and communication technologies.The Internet is becoming extremely important, creating not only a global virtual space, but also contributing to the formation of a new form of public administration in the form of «electronic government».It is difficult to imagine a modern state institution that would not have its own website, email address, registration in social networks, etc.In a number of countries around the world, various methods of electronic will detection are used today.Therefore, the state policy is gradually gaining publicity and social accessibility.Of course, the latest forms of communication cannot but influence the processes of democratization, which, in turn, led to the emergence of the phenomenon that we nominate today as «network democracy», «Internet democracy», «virtual democracy», «electronic democracy», etc.Currently, it is thanks to electronic democracy that active participation of society in globalized politics and state-building processes is possible.
