ArticleDescription: 1 archivo (292,3 kB)Subject(s): Summary: In traditional representative democracies, vote has been and is the way in which society made a group of representatives legitimately act in the name of common interest. Participation then was limited to the right of vote. However, in this century of ICT growth, in particular the Internet, and where mediation spaces are constantly questioned, Open Data and Open Government, as supported by ICT potential, have come back to face the great challenge of giving new life to the relationship between government and citizens. This paper presents four cases of open government policy implementation in argentinean cities, which, although still in their initial stages, show in a way the path to be taken by Argentina regarding governmental transparency and greater citizen participation in public affairs.
