Abstract
E-government is a form of public administration which promotes efficiency, openness and transparency of public authorities and local governments with the use of information and telecommunications technologies to form a new type of state focused on meeting the needs of citizens. E-government is studied as a way, a form, the concept, system and mechanism of cooperation between the state (public administration) and public sectors (civil society). As a method for legal communication between civil society and public administration, e-government plays the role of a means of public self-government, which involves interactivity and continuity of interaction between citizens and the state, the presence of public control over the activities of public authorities. This article is dedicated to reveal the role of e-government for realizing the goals of legal communication between its participants in public life. However, further in-depth analysis requires understanding the role of e-government as a means of legal communication, changing the focus and direction of its development in the digital age, as well as exploring promising areas of legal regulation of virtual legal relations between public authorities and civil society. The implementation of e-government in Ukraine should be provided on a qualitatively new level to develop efficient legal communication between government and society as a whole, strengthen confidence in the state and its policies, improve cooperation between public authorities and local governments, business, citizens and civil servants. The authors of this article adhered to its purpose, which is to analyze the understanding of the role of e-government as a means of legal communication, changing the focus and direction of its development in the digital age, and exploring promising areas of legal regulation of virtual legal relations between government and civil society.
