Description
Open Government acts through participation, electronic participation, transparency, accountability and open data. In order to understand the phenomenon, this study addresses two case studies: Digital Cabinet, from Brazil, and Uruguayan Open Government Program. Aiming at increasing the debate, the Theory of Communicative Action is used to interpret and discuss the data collected. The objective of this research is to study and to compare the Digital Cabinet and Uruguayan Open Government programs based in the different segments of society's speeches through the Theory of Communicative Action. The evidences show that electronic participation is the Digital Cabinet’s strength and transparency, along with accountability and open data, are the highlight of the Uruguayan program. The study suggests the expansion of research to other countries in South America, in order to portray the status quo of open government on the continent.
