Abstract

New technologies provide new channels of access to political information and participation in decision making processes. This assumption is clearly important in the action plans and policies of International Organizations (World Bank, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, United Nations), which have assumed a leadership role in the reform of political institutions. Starting from an analysis of the reasons that have brought the state and processes of institution building back into focus, this paper will reconstruct the International Organizations’ vision of the transformative potential of new information technologies and their activity in this field. Particular attention will be devoted to e-democracy and e-government as policies to build democracy in developing countries
