Abstract

El trabajo analiza el papel del gobierno electrónico en la transparencia de los actos públicos, intentando contribuir a la reflexión sobre esa condición fundamental de la Democracia Representativa. Folcaliza, en particular, las informaciones disponibles en websites gubernamentales relativas a la prestación de cuentas de todas las capitales estatales brasileñas, examinando el cumplimiento de las leyes federales sobre Cuentas Públicas y de Responsabilidad Fiscal. Comparados con los indicadores sobre este tema, presentes en otros trabajos, los resultados de la investigación apuntan a que el gobierno electrónico no necesariamente aumenta la transparencia administrativa. Esto solamente ocurre si hubieren mecanismos institucionales que obliguen a los gobernantes a dar cuenta y compromiso de las lideranzas políticas con transparencia; como dan muestra lso estudios de caso, traídos a colación en el texto.
