Abstract

Despite the considerable number of scientific studies of the information society, power, power relations, management, the need for further research is growing. This is due to the dynamics of modern globalization changes, which lead to the actualization of the essence of communicative relations between the state and society. The latest forms of communication cannot but influence the processes of democratization – a direct connection is established between the power structures and the public with the help of the latest information and communication technologies, which allows for constant dialogue, which, in turn, contributes to the prompt discussion and solution of urgent social problems and achieving the support of society representatives. Thus, a gradual transformation of management processes takes place, acquiring more and more democratic accents, which, in turn, leads to the development of electronic democracy, thanks to which active participation of society in state-building processes and globalized politics is possible. The article attempts to investigate the specifics of the formation of electronic democracy in the conditions of the transformation of modern communication processes. A number of concepts regarding the communicative nature of power and the role of communication in the implementation of power relations are considered. The main contradictions and problems of the formation of electronic democracy are analyzed; ways of solving the mentioned issues are outlined in order to enable the formation of effective e-democracy.
