10 Democracy and Internet 3 technical inovation no-intermediation comunication less centralized, without intermediary agents multimidia several languages and midias at the same comunication action control design, modification, monitoring the pathways and actions of users

11 Democracy and Internet 3 democratic requirements to State digital interface Publicity to become the State more visible and transparent to citizens Responsiveness to become the State more dialogical with citizens Porosity to become the State more susceptible to public opinion

12 Publicity web sites must have support for: news reports institucional texts didatic texts official documents financial data general public information visibility and transparency

13 Responsiveness means that the citizen had an input directed to obtain a specific response, and the State produced an output that attempts to respond to this demand online feed back to public services channels to respond and give information s, e-forms... chats e-forum to public discussion with official responsible

14 Porosity democracy needs to incorporate popular aspiration into political decision some mechanism can be oriented to capture views as subsidy to decision-makink policy others count opinions and turn it into decision (elections, referenda) on-line surveys consultation about public issues on-line voting channels to collect views of citizens

15 Democracy and Internet these 3 requirements define some roles that on-line communication from public administration should play in order to improve democratical system It involves historical and important issues about political theory like a more transparent, accountable, dialogical and plural State, as well as sensible to public opinion Each one of the democratic requirements can occur through 5 levels of communicative relationships: (1) utilitarian, (2) informative, (3) instructive, (4) argumentative and (5) imperative levels

16 utilitarian 3 requirements x 5 levels of communicative relationship communication that is a end in itself, instrumental nature informative information = message instructive didatic approach, clarification, elucidation argumentative communication = justification imperative communication = order

17 Publicity communication levels communication flow objects examples utilitarian informative instructive argumentative output output output output search engines, sitemap, index, portal info, etc texts as news, propaganda, advertising, etc institutional texts, info about institution, etc reports, dossier, financial explanation, full documents, projects, etc

18 Responsiveness communication levels utilitarian informative instructive argumentative communication flow input/output input/output input/output input/output objects examples document emission, on-line payments, etc tools, forms sending questions, or asking for answer, etc on-line foruns or chats to clarify projects or actions, etc on-line foruns, discussion lists or tools alike that have deliberative aspect, etc

19 Porosity communication levels utilitarian informative instructive argumentative communication flow input/output input/output input/output input/output objects examples tools for collection of preference profiles, monitoring devices etc public opinion polling, questionnaires, etc on-line forms designed to collect textual opinion of citizens about project, action... on-line foruns, discussion lists or tools alike that have deliberative aspect, etc

20 Porosity communication levels argumentative communication flow input/output objects examples on-line forms or tools designed to collect structured propositions that will be considered in political decision process imperative input/output vote, referendum mediated by a communication tool, etc

21 3 requirements x 5 levels of communicative relationship this crossing is useful to examine web sites, integrating normative perspective with a systemic analysis the study would allow us to establish parameters of quantitative and qualitative evaluation of web sites.
