Transformation of political participation in the context of the emergence of digital political institutions
https://doi.org/10.17726/philIT.2024.2.3
Abstract
The article examines the impact of digitalization on political participation through the lens of new digital political institutions. Active digitalization enhances the accessibility and convenience of political engagement; however, this accessibility creates a «pressure valve» effect, preventing the accumulation of significant dissatisfaction that could lead to more substantial political demands. The issue of the publicity associated with these digital political institutions is also addressed. Publicity increases the likelihood of addressing issues by attracting the attention of responsible parties, yet it simultaneously tends to preserve ineffective governmental institutions.
