Journal Title: Language, Culture, Politics. International Journal - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper presents a general theoretical overview of the new norms and procedures of e-petitioning in Ukraine. E-petitioning is viewed as a new form of direct and effective political communication and participation that marks country`s democratic advances. The article presents a brief history of petitioning and its e-modification after the worldwide growth of informational and communication technologies. We see e-petition as the most standardized and lawful form of e-democracy present in Ukraine. The changes to the Law of Ukraine “On the Appeals of Citizens” state electronic petition as a specific form of collective citizens` appeal to the President of Ukraine, Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Cabinet of Ministers and local governments. The suggested analysis of the e-petitioning in Ukraine provides the information on the norms and restrictions of this form of government – people communication. E-petitioning can also be viewed as a new type of media discourse. Statistics on the visit-growth of the President of Ukraine portal prove e-petitioning popularity and suggest the necessity of adding e-petition services on the web-pages of the other governmental organs mentioned in the Law.
