FROM REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY TO DIRECT DEMOCRACY: CONCEPTUAL VIEWS ON SOCIETY MANAGEMENT
The paper investigates views on the transformation of public administration and the formation of electronic democracy or e-democracy. The transition process from a representative democracy to a direct democracy is analysed, and meritocracy is viewed as a public administration mechanism. Conceptual approaches to society management and perspectives on the development of the mechanisms of e-democracy are discussed (pp.34-41).
Keywords:public administration, electronic government, electronic democracy, direct democracy, meritocracy
