Abstract

This article explores the concept of an information state as a new type of contemporary state, driven by advances in technology and the increasing importance of information in various domains. The paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the characteristics, challenges, and potential benefits of an information state, along with its implications for governance, policy-making, and societal development. Traditional ideas about governance and state functions in the information era are being revisited. It was found that the concept of the information state is based on a hypothesis proclaiming information a critical asset while its management and use become fundamental for the functioning of the state. The information state paradigm necessitates a shift in traditional governance models. Decision-making processes become data-driven with algorithms and predictive analytics playing a significant role. Policy design and implementation are built upon evidence-based approaches leveraging real-time data and feedback loops. The information state fosters participatory governance, empowering citizens to actively contribute to decision-making through online platforms and feedback mechanisms.
