Administration électroniqueL’administration électronique ou administration en ligne ou encore dématérialisation des services publics désigne l'utilisation des technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC) par les administrations publiques visant à rendre les services publics plus accessibles à leurs usagers et à améliorer leur fonctionnement interne. L'administration électronique peut se développer dans tout type d'administration ou de service public, en contact avec le public (front-office) ou non (back-office).
Open-source governanceOpen-source governance (also known as open governance and open politics) is a political philosophy which advocates the application of the philosophies of the open-source and open-content movements to democratic principles to enable any interested citizen to add to the creation of policy, as with a wiki document. Legislation is democratically opened to the general citizenry, employing their collective wisdom to benefit the decision-making process and improve democracy. Theories on how to constrain, limit or enable this participation vary.
Emergent democracyIn politics, emergent democracy represents the rise of political structures and behaviors without central planning and by the action of many individual participants, especially when mediated by the Internet. It has been likened to the democratic system of ancient Greece in the sense that people could publicly participate as much or as little as they please, although a form of representation exists which is based on personal trust networks instead of party affiliations.
Participation (politique)La participation désigne les procédures, démarches ou tentatives faites pour donner un rôle aux individus dans la prise de décision affectant la communauté ou l'organisation dont ils font partie. La participation, représentant tout à la fois l’outil le plus basique et le plus complet de la démocratie participative, consisterait ainsi à prendre part.
Démocratie participativevignette|upright=1.8|Logo de la Charte de la participation du public La démocratie participative est une forme de partage et d'exercice du pouvoir, fondée sur le renforcement de la participation des citoyens à la prise de décision politique dans le cadre de la démocratie représentative.

Collaborative e-democracyCollaborative e-democracy refers to a hybrid democratic model combining elements of direct democracy, representative democracy, and e-democracy (or the incorporation of ICTs into democratic processes). This concept, first introduced at international academic conferences in 2009, offers a pathway for citizens to directly or indirectly engage in policymaking. Steven Brams and Peter Fishburn describe it as an "innovative way to engage citizens in the democratic process," that potentially makes government "more transparent, accountable, and responsive to the needs of the people.
E-participationElectronic participation (e-participation) refers to the use of ICT in facilitating citizen participation in government-related processes, encompassing areas such as administration, service delivery, decision-making, and policy-making. As such, e-participation shares close ties with e-government and e-governance participation. The term's emergence aligns with the digitization of citizen interests and interactions with political service providers, primarily due to the proliferation of e-government.
Online consultationOnline consultations or e-consultations refer to an exchange between government and citizens using the Internet. They are one form of online deliberation. Further, online consultation consists in using the Internet to ask a group of people their opinion on one or more specific topics, allowing for trade-offs between participants. Generally, an agency consults a group of people to get their thoughts on an issue when a project or a policy is being developed or implemented, e.g.
Online deliberationOnline deliberation is a broad term used to describe many forms of non-institutional, institutional and experimental online discussions. The term also describes the emerging field of practice and research related to the design, implementation and study of deliberative processes that rely on the use of electronic information and communications technologies (ICT). Although the Internet and social media have fostered discursive participation and deliberation online through computer-mediated communication, the academic study of online deliberation started in the early 2000s.
