Application of Digital Technologies in the Concept of Open Government in Foreign Countries
The matters of transforming state management from open to digital government have become extremely relevant for the Russian Federation and certain foreign states in recent years. Many jurisdictions are moving much more slowly on this course than Russia does, however certain technologies oriented towards the implementation of the digital government concept have already been tested and installed in certain foreign states. Thus, not only the experience of leading countries in implementing modern technologies into state management is of high relevance, but also the experience of states is also of great interest, where the implementation of modern tech is hindered due to the unavailable daily use of technologies or due to the subsistence levels. The research analyzes foreign experience of implementing digital tech into state management and the evaluation of ongoing processes connected with moving away from a simple concept of open government towards a modern and sophisticated concept of digital government by expanding potential of advanced IT. The authors conduct their research by the following methods: analysis, synthesis, comparison, etc. The authors have made a following final conclusion: despite the robust development of digital state management, a number of states grapple with serious issues of implementing IT in this sphere. Developing countries have to supply the whole state territory and all citizens with relevant infrastructure that would allow increasing efficiency of state management by IT means and raising information literacy skills. Developed countries today are facing problems of preparing skilled specialists in the sphere of IT and IT-security.
