https://doi.org/10.48137/2074-2975_2021_2_59
Abstract
The article deals with the digital transformation of political parties. In the context of the crisis of political parties, digital communications are used to aggregate interests, political mobilization, implement deliberative democracy, and involve party members and supporters in the decision-making process. Depending on the features of the internal organization, the author distinguishes parties of network control and parties of network coordination. In the digital reality, parties must make the transition from electronic reception rooms to multifunctional media platforms, as well as abandon the policy of informing in favour of the policy of citizens involvement.
