ANÁLISE COMPARATIVA DAS POLÍTICAS DE GOVERNANÇA ELETRÔNICA NOS BRIC(s)

Abstract

This article provides an analysis about Public Governance based on its definition related to the relevance of citizen participation and transparency between state and society from its technological systematization, the Electronic Governance. Therefore, this article develops an exploratory analysis on Electronic Governance in the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) – through an extensive review of national and international literature about the subject. Furthermore, it holds a comparative analysis using the Electronic Participation Index (e-Participation Index) and Electronic Government Index (e-government Index) in a continuum of time among 2003 – 2010 based on official reports published by the United Nations. The results, besides highlighting the impact of the economic crisis of 2008 on investments in ICTs in the BRICs, reveal quantitative and qualitative disparities between countries resulting from strategies and government actions in relation to this area.
