Category of electronic parliament: interpretive questions of the concept

Understanding the role and appointment of parliament in a democratic state, its development and practice of functioning in Ukraine, the expediency of updating existing scientifi c generalizations of the doctrine of parliamentarism is one of the most relevant areas of research for modern constitutionalism. The importance of the outlined problems is emphasized primarily in the context of the formation of the concept of e-parliamentarism, updating the theoretical foundations of Ukrainian parliamentarism in general, modernization of constitutionalism. It is emphasized that in modern realities, under conditions of martial law, Ukrainian constitutionalism, its components, together with parliamentarism, with their constants unchanged, acquire certain modifi cations due to such factors. Thus, the attention of researchers on the theoretical and legal analysis of the conceptual idea of introducing e-parliament as one of the main elements of e-democracy in Ukraine, directions of its transformation into a real mechanism of practical activity of the Ukrainian parliament (provision, development, legal principles) is updated. Modern approaches to the interpretation of e-parliament in international practice and domestic scientifi c literature are considered. Attention is drawn to the fact that, despite the rather widespread use of the term in special literature, constitutional and legal science does not contain its generally accepted concept as a legal category. As a rule, the authors, highlighting the problems of e-parliamentarism identifi ed by them, do not resort to disclosing the concept of e-parliament at the level of defi nition, mostly limited to a list of main features or a meaningful characteristic. There is also no unifi ed approach to understanding the essence and content of the e-parliament. Based on the generalization of scientifi c positions, the research direction of the named category is determined. It has been determined that the most productive in this context is the scientifi c approach to understanding the concept of e-parliament as a modern form of activity of the classical parliament, and not as a separate kind of traditional democratic representative body, a body of state legislative power. An attempt was made to defi ne and identify the signs of this phenomenon. It is about a broad and narrow approach to understanding the studied phenomenon. It has been established that behind its formal external properties are information and communication, digital technologies for carrying out parliamentary activities, parliamentary automated systems: informatization of the legislative process, electronic document management, others, software and hardware complexes, parliamentary web resources, etc.

Key words: e-democracy, digital, information communication technologies, constitutionalism, parliamentarism, e-parliamentarism, e-parliament.
