The aim of the course is to obtain a systemic perception on main conceptions, models and dimensions of democracy and democratic governance in the context of digital society, to develop the ability to understand, analyse and assess the principles and mechanisms of democratic electronic governance policy, implementation and initiatives in different European regions, as well as to improve skills and digital competences needed in representing society interests at different levels of formation and implementation regional development policy. Students will be able to analyse and assess the principles of interaction of a digital system, a political system and governance, obtaining understanding of the impact of the digital revolution on democratic process in the regions; to identify problems of democratic e-governance development, generating hypothetic ideas and mechanisms to solve them; to analyse, assess and model situations of democratic governance using ICT; to apply principles of democratic egovernance at the level of public administration organisations, analysing and projecting practical situations, presenting possible variants for the solution; to argue the decisions makings, to follow principles of ethical activities and to combine individual and team work.
