Abstract

The network model of social organisation, consisting of structural, communicative and technological levels, is presented. Based on this model, the specifics of political communication are considered. The analysis of the structural level reveals the development of network political organisations, characterised by decentralised management, the presence of several leaders, adaptability, openness and self-reproduction. From the point of view of the communicative level, the spread of network forms of communication and public administration, involving voluntary inclusion of actors, their autonomy, interdependence and interest, has been established. It is indicated that from the position of the technological level there is a digital networkisation of political processes. It is noted that the use of network means of communication provides the possibility of storing big data, as well as accessibility, interactivity and continuity of communication regardless of the status of participants and their territorial location. The article identifies the varieties of networked political interaction and strategies for the formation of e-government in Belarus and abroad.
