Abstract:

The open government concept promises a broader understanding of the e-government as the basis for transforming governments into more open, participatory and collaborative. It is necessary to assess the open government in the context of e-government and in the context of the future of the public administration. Today, e-democracy and e-government combine democratic practices activated by emerging technology into administrative institutions. The open government framework is used as a way to define the value generated when the interaction between government and citizens becomes more transparent, participatory and collaborative, ie, more democratic. Open government can be seen as a way of strengthening democracy through greater transparency, participation and cooperation. In this article, the current open government literature is examined to reveal a complementary definition of the open government, a conceptual framework is established in the light of the obtained data, and Sweden is examined as an example of an open government. In general, it is aimed to make clear the concept of open government in the article.
