e-Government, e-Governance, e-Democracy

The goal of state administration operating on the principles of e-government is to help all the clients and partners of any public sector institution to take part in business processes of state administration via Internet. Representatives of state institutions, their clients and partners thus form a virtual society that shares in the knowledge, responsibilities and tasks. e-Government - constitutes the way public sector institutions use technology to apply public administration principles and conduct the business of government. This is government using new tools to enhance the delivery of existing services. e-Governance - is the movement of governments online to electronically deliver their services and programs, provide government information, and interact with the citizen. This means the formation of new relationships and includes the private sector along with citizens and other levels of government. e-Democracy – is about how the citizen interacts with government or influences the legislative or public sector process … it is all about participatory democracy. This is the shift from representational democracy to participatory democracy.
