e-participation in EEU countries: a case study of government websites

Published:04 September 2017Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper presents the results of an e-Participation study of Eurasian Economic Union member states. The websites of each country's key ministries served as the object of the research. The original research methodology used in this paper is based on the UN e-Participation Index approach. Obtained data allows to rank EEU member countries by the level of electronic participation and to propose recommendations for further improvements in public engagement.
