THE EFFECT OF DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION ON THE STATE STRUCTURE

DİJİTAL DÖNÜŞÜMÜN DEVLET YAPISINA ETKİSİ

Abstract

This study aims to examine in depth how rapid developments in information and communication technologies transform the state structure and the consequences of this transformation. This change, especially in the last fifty years, has led to a radical transformation in the provision of public services and has been an important factor in the globalization process. Türkiye has been one of the countries that has strived to provide public services electronically since the 1990s. Although initially different public institutions developed their own e-government applications, in recent years it has been aimed to gather these applications under a single platform and ensure coordination. With the rapid increase in performance in the world of production and access to public services, the traditional management approach becomes insufficient. For this reason, states have started digital transformations to bring together public services more effectively and efficiently by taking advantage of information and communication technologies. The concept of digital government includes important goals such as rapid response of your force, increased transparency and increased service. This study aims to fill in pieces of information on the digitalization of states and changes in their appearance by contributing to the existing literature. Especially through the example of Türkiye, answers to questions such as how this process took place, what difficulties were encountered and what the expectations were will not be sought.
