Abstract

The relevance of the research topic is conditioned by the informatization of all spheres of social and political life, the transition of the world community to the era of information in all its manifestations under the influence of the latest information and communication technologies. Modern society is a very dynamic social system, which is characterized by multiple changes in the political, economic, social, cultural and other spheres. In this context, research into the ways and tendencies of social development is of particular relevance, with the process of transforming the foundations and principles of political governance into a significant place. The political realities of modern Ukraine demonstrate the existence of a wide range of problems, both with the government itself and with society. The traditional political apathy and the principle of non-interference that dominated the public opinion of the Soviet period are infinitely obsolete and do not meet the modern needs of a developed society. Today, there is an increasing need for specific theoretical and, more importantly, practical measures aimed at a radical transformation of the political system of society, designed to improve the interaction between government and society, optimizing administrative processes. In order to match the quality of political processes with modern requirements, there is a need to involve the general population in the stages of preparation and implementation of political decisions. At the same time, it is obvious that the realization of the basic foundations of direct democracy is impossible without the use of the latest information and communication technologies. Nowadays, ICTs have become an integral part of modern times, on which not only the development of science and technology but also civil society depend. But one of the necessary prerequisites for the sustainable development of society is the possibility of a constructive dialogue between the authorities and citizens, involving the latter in the processes of making and making meaningful decisions. The goal, in particular, can be achieved through the introduction of an e-government system that is able to provide a new level of communication between citizens and the authorities, and unhindered access to public information. In most scientific intelligence, the problem of e-government is considered mainly in the context of optimization of administrative processes, adaptation of outdated political systems to the needs of the present. However, insufficient attention is paid to identifying the conditions under which e-government will become a truly effective mechanism for strengthening public confidence in political power.
